A heavy, rounded sans with a squared-off, superellipse construction: broad stems, flat terminals, and consistently softened corners. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in O, C, G, and the lowercase o-family), giving the design a compact, engineered feel. Counters are relatively small and apertures are controlled, while spacing and widths vary by letter to keep the rhythm lively. The lowercase is tall and robust, with simple, solid dots and minimal modulation, and the numerals share the same blocky, rounded-rect geometry.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, logos, and bold UI moments where strong silhouette recognition matters. It will perform well in branding, packaging, event graphics, and sports or entertainment contexts, particularly at medium to large sizes where its rounded-square forms and tight counters read clearly.
The overall tone is bold and confident with a friendly softness from the rounded corners. It reads as contemporary and energetic—more athletic and poster-like than editorial—without feeling aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive rounded-rect silhouette, pairing a sturdy, geometric build with softened corners for approachability. It balances a utilitarian, engineered structure with a playful, contemporary presence.
At larger sizes the rounded-rectangle structure becomes a defining visual signature, and the tight inner counters create strong ink presence. The capitals are especially compact and squared, while letters like M/W and the diagonals (K, X, Y) lean into a sturdy, built-up silhouette.
