A heavy, rounded sans with broad proportions and softly chamfered corners that keep the forms chunky rather than sharp. Strokes are consistently thick, with compact internal counters and generous, bowl-like curves in letters such as O, Q, and P. Terminals tend to be squared-off with subtle rounding, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are wide and stable, giving the design a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with large, open shapes and strong horizontal cuts (notably in 2, 3, and 5).
Best suited to headlines and short copy where maximum impact and fast recognition are needed, such as posters, sports and event branding, packaging, and bold identity work. It can also work for large UI labels or signage where a friendly, high-contrast-on-background presence is desired.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, pairing a confident, attention-grabbing weight with friendly rounded geometry. It reads as energetic and slightly retro, suited to branding that wants to feel upbeat, sporty, and uncomplicated rather than formal or technical.
The design appears intended to deliver strong visual punch while staying approachable, using rounded, blocky construction and compact counters to create a confident, readable display voice.
Letterforms show a consistent rhythm and spacing that supports dense set text at large sizes, with distinctive, rounded joins and a compact texture. The lowercase features single-story a and g, reinforcing an informal, contemporary feel and improving clarity in quick, high-impact reading.
