A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls and softly radiused corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters tend to be rectangular and relatively tight, giving the design a compact, punchy texture. Terminals are mostly blunt; the lowercase shows single‑storey forms (notably a and g), a squared, open-shouldered r, and a tall, straight-sided u, reinforcing a utilitarian, engineered feel. The caps are wide and steady with large, simple interiors, while numerals follow the same squared, rounded geometry for strong visual coherence.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display settings where impact and quick recognition matter—such as sports identities, product packaging, event posters, and bold wayfinding or storefront signage. It can also work for UI labels or dashboards when you want a sturdy, industrial voice, especially at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a distinctly modern, equipment-like character that reads as sporty and technical. The rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, game-like energy while still projecting strength and certainty.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum presence and legibility through simplified, geometric construction and rounded corners, balancing toughness with approachability. The consistent superellipse-based shapes suggest an intention toward a unified, system-like aesthetic that stays recognizable across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The design’s rhythm is driven by repeated rounded-rectangle counters and uniform stroke mass, producing a strong, poster-ready silhouette. In text, the dense interior spaces and squared details create a compact, high-impact color that favors short bursts over delicate reading.
