A heavy, geometric sans with a squared, superellipse construction and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are thick and even, with tight apertures and compact internal counters (notably in C, S, e, and a), creating a dense, punchy texture. Terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal/vertical, and curves resolve into chamfer-like corners rather than continuous rounds, giving forms a modular, engineered feel. Numerals and capitals are tall and sturdy with boxy bowls and sharply defined joints; lowercase follows a similarly rigid pattern with simplified, blocky shapes and short extenders.
Best suited for display applications where impact and presence are the priority: headlines, posters, signage, product packaging, and bold brand marks. It also fits tech, industrial, and sports contexts, especially where a rugged, engineered visual language is desired.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian tone—mechanical and contemporary rather than friendly. Its squared curves and compressed openings suggest a digital/industrial aesthetic with a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as sporty and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean, geometric system, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep shapes cohesive while preserving a hard-edged, industrial attitude. Its tight counters and flattened terminals emphasize solidity and control, prioritizing a strong silhouette for branding and large-scale typography.
At text sizes the tight apertures and small counters can reduce clarity, while at display sizes the distinctive squared rounding and strong rhythm become the primary character. The overall rhythm is uniform and columnar, with angular diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) adding a sharp, energetic accent against the otherwise rectilinear palette.
