A heavy, geometric sans with a squared-off construction softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact counters and a strong, even color in text. Many forms rely on rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals; curves tend to transition into straight segments with crisp, controlled radii. The lowercase is built for clarity with simple, sturdy shapes, while the numerals share the same squared-round geometry and generous weight.
Best suited to display roles where impact and solidity matter: headlines, posters, product branding, packaging, and bold UI labels. It also works well for sports and tech-themed graphics, signage, and short statements where the chunky, rounded-rect geometry can set a confident tone.
The overall tone is confident and utilitarian, with a sporty, contemporary edge. Rounded corners keep it approachable, but the mass and compact apertures give it a tough, engineered feel that reads as modern and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a cohesive rounded-square geometry, balancing toughness and friendliness. It prioritizes bold presence and a contemporary, engineered aesthetic for attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters like C, O, and G show a distinctly squarish curvature, and diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable rather than sharp or delicate. The dot on i/j is compact and rectangular, reinforcing the blocky system. In paragraph-like settings it produces a strong, poster-like texture and prefers comfortable tracking to avoid crowding.
