A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Counters are compact and often squarish, giving letters like O, D, and P a punchy, enclosed feel, while terminals and joins are blunt and geometric. The lowercase is sturdy and utilitarian with simple, single-storey forms and minimal stroke modulation; several shapes read as squared-off superellipses rather than circles. Numerals are similarly robust and compact, with tight interior space and strong horizontal platforms that emphasize a poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where strong silhouettes and tight counters read as confident and graphic. It also fits UI titles, badges, and labels that benefit from compact, high-contrast-in-size letterforms and a sturdy geometric tone.
The overall tone is assertive and high-impact, balancing toughness with friendly rounded geometry. Its chunky shapes and compressed counters suggest a sporty, headline-driven personality with a slight retro-industrial flavor, making it feel bold, direct, and attention-seeking without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangle geometry, prioritizing bold presence and consistent, industrial-friendly shapes. It emphasizes chunky counters, blunt terminals, and clean, no-nonsense construction to create a recognizable, modern display voice that still nods to retro signage and athletic lettering.
At text sizes the dense interiors and heavy joins create a dark typographic color, while large sizes highlight the distinctive rounded-rectangular rhythm and consistent corner treatment. The uppercase and numerals appear especially suited to short bursts of copy where shape recognition comes from big silhouettes rather than fine detail.
