A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared corners throughout. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls and rounded terminals, while straight strokes stay rigid and vertical, producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Counters are relatively narrow and often rectangular, with distinctive slit-like apertures in letters such as A and R, and generally tight internal space that boosts density. Lowercase forms are compact with a tall x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and minimal modulation, keeping texture even and punchy in setting.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, logotypes, sports graphics, packaging, and bold wayfinding-style treatments. Its dense counters and heavy mass are more effective at medium-to-large sizes where the interior cutouts and rounded geometry can stay clear.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, mixing a friendly softness from the rounded corners with a tough, mechanical presence from the condensed counters and squared structure. It reads as confidently modern-retro, with an industrial/sports flavor that feels built for impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a controlled, geometric structure, pairing rounded-rectangle forms with tight apertures for a compact, high-contrast-on-the-page silhouette. It emphasizes consistency and strength, aiming for a distinctive industrial voice that remains clean and sans-driven.
The alphabet shows strong geometric consistency across rounds (C, G, O, Q) and straights (E, F, H, I), with several characters featuring inset cutouts that add a slightly stencil/inline impression without breaking the exterior silhouette. Numerals match the same squared, rounded-rect profile, maintaining a cohesive, sign-like appearance.
