A heavy, geometric sans with squared silhouettes softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like bowls. Strokes are broadly uniform with a sturdy, compact build, short-to-moderate apertures, and tight interior counters (notably in letters like B, P, R, and 8). Terminals are mostly flat and vertical/horizontal, giving a strongly engineered, modular rhythm, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) remain clean and stable. Figures are equally block-forward, with squarish 0/8/9 forms and strong, signage-like proportions.
Best suited to bold headlines, brand marks, labels, and high-impact marketing where strong letterforms need to hold their shape. It also works well for short UI labels, sports/fitness graphics, event posters, and wayfinding-style applications where sturdy, rectangular forms feel appropriate.
The overall tone is loud, direct, and functional—more about impact and clarity than subtlety. Its rounded-square geometry evokes contemporary sports branding, industrial labeling, and tech interfaces, with a slightly retro arcade/scoreboard flavor when set large.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual punch through compact counters, flat terminals, and rounded-rectangle geometry, creating a cohesive, industrial display voice. The consistent squared rounding suggests an intention to feel modern and technical while remaining approachable rather than sharp or aggressive.
The design favors closed counters and reduced aperture openings, which increases mass and punch at display sizes but can feel dense in long text. Uppercase forms read especially rigid and architectural; lowercase retains the same squared logic, producing a consistent, no-nonsense texture across mixed-case settings.
