A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing dark, compact silhouettes with minimal interior counterspace in letters like B, e, and a. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls while joins and terminals stay blunt, giving a squared-off rhythm even in round characters. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders, and a tall, straight-sided m/n structure; numerals are similarly chunky and geometric with a clean, utilitarian feel.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short statements where maximum weight and presence are desired. It works well for branding, packaging, signage, and promotional graphics that benefit from a bold, geometric voice and clear silhouette at larger sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and attention-grabbing, but the rounded corners keep it from feeling sharp or aggressive. It reads as sporty and industrial, with a friendly, poster-ready character that emphasizes impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through compact, superelliptical construction and softened corners, balancing a tough, blocky mass with approachable roundness for contemporary display use.
Tight counters and broad strokes favor larger sizes, where the rounded-square geometry and simplified details become most apparent. The shapes maintain a consistent, mechanical regularity that helps headings feel cohesive and forceful.
