A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared curves that read as superelliptical rather than circular. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing compact inner counters and sturdy, tightly enclosed forms in letters like O, D, B, and 8. Terminals are blunt and clean, corners are broadly rounded, and many glyphs show subtle cut-ins and notched joins that add a machined, modular feel. The lowercase is simplified and robust, with single-story a and g and short, dense apertures that keep silhouettes bold and contained.
Best suited to large-scale applications where weight and shape can carry the message: headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and energetic sports or tech-themed graphics. It also works well for short UI labels or signage when a compact, high-impact word shape is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, projecting confidence and impact. Its rounded-square geometry suggests contemporary tech and sports styling, while the blocky silhouettes also nod to retro display lettering and industrial labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through sturdy geometry and rounded-square forms, balancing hard-edged construction with softened corners for a modern, approachable toughness.
The numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with the 2, 3, 5, and 9 showing flattened curves and squared shoulders that emphasize a constructed, engineered look. At text sizes the dense counters and tight openings make it feel more like a display face than a long-read workhorse.
