A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are uniformly thick, with smooth curves and slightly softened terminals that keep the shapes feeling friendly rather than sharp. Round letters (O, C, G) are close to circular, while verticals and horizontals stay straight and stable, creating a strong, even rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a simple, sturdy t, all drawn with wide bowls and tight apertures for a dense, punchy texture.
This font is best suited to display settings where strong, rounded letterforms can carry personality—headlines, posters, identity systems, packaging, and short callouts. It also works well for logos and labels that benefit from a friendly but forceful voice.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, with a sporty, upbeat character that reads as modern and energetic. Its rounded geometry and substantial weight make it feel confident and friendly, leaning toward playful branding rather than formal editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a warm, geometric feel—prioritizing bold presence, simple construction, and consistent curves for clear, modern display typography.
Because counters and apertures are relatively small at this weight, the font maintains strong silhouette recognition at display sizes, while fine internal details can fill in as sizes get smaller. Numerals are similarly robust and geometric, matching the uppercase in presence and balance.
