A heavy, geometric sans with soft rounding throughout and a compact, sturdy build. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many joins and terminals are subtly blunted, giving the letters a cushioned, block-like feel. Counters are relatively tight and often squared-off, while bowls and curves (C, G, O, S) read as rounded rectangles rather than perfect circles. The lowercase has a tall x-height and simplified forms, and the overall rhythm is slightly irregular in a deliberate way, contributing to an unconventional, constructed look.
Best suited to short, high-impact text where its mass and distinctive shapes can work at larger sizes—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold signage. It can also serve as a characterful display companion in branding systems when used sparingly for emphasis.
The tone is bold and approachable, combining a retro sign-painting/sports headline energy with a friendly, toy-like softness. Its chunky silhouettes and rounded corners feel upbeat and informal, prioritizing impact and personality over quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with an approachable, modern-retro flavor: a simplified, low-detail sans built from chunky forms and softened corners to stay readable at a glance while projecting personality.
Several shapes show a constructed, idiosyncratic logic—particularly in the angular cuts and inset joins—creating a distinctive texture in words. Numerals are similarly chunky and display-forward, matching the letters’ broad proportions and softened geometry.
