A heavy, rounded sans with wide, squared-off proportions and smooth, continuous curves. Strokes are consistently thick with blunt terminals, and counters tend toward oval or capsule shapes, giving letters a dense, compact interior. The design relies on broad horizontals and sturdy verticals, with softly radiused corners that keep the weight from feeling sharp. Lowercase forms are large and open for their weight, with simple, single-storey constructions and short extenders that emphasize a solid, blocklike rhythm.
Best suited for large-scale typography where its weight and wide forms can carry: headlines, posters, branding marks, storefront or wayfinding signage, and packaging that needs strong shelf presence. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when space allows, but extended paragraphs will feel dense due to the heavy color.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a sporty, industrial energy. Its rounded geometry reads as friendly and approachable, while the mass and width add confidence and impact. The look evokes retro display lettering and bold signage—functional, loud, and immediately legible.
The design appears intended as an impact-focused display sans that balances toughness with rounded friendliness. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition, high visibility, and a cohesive geometric feel across letters and numbers.
The numerals follow the same capsule-and-oval logic as the letters, staying squat and sturdy with minimal stroke modulation. The rhythm in text is very dark and continuous, so spacing and line breaks will strongly affect readability at smaller sizes.
