A heavy, wide sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and steady, with mostly squared terminals and subtle internal rounding that keeps counters from feeling sharp. The design favors compact apertures and sturdy, geometric bowls; curves often read as superelliptical rather than circular. Spacing appears tight and efficient, producing a dense, forceful texture, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike skeleton with minimal modulation.
Best suited to display applications where weight and width can carry the message: headlines, posters, sports or team branding, bold packaging labels, and attention-grabbing signage. The dense letterforms also work well for short UI labels or buttons when a strong, friendly presence is desired, though long text will feel heavy.
The overall tone is bold and assertive but not harsh, combining a utilitarian, industrial feel with approachable roundedness. It suggests athletic energy and headline confidence, with a slightly retro, sign-like solidity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a stable, geometric silhouette, using rounded-square construction to balance toughness with approachability. It prioritizes bold recognition and a consistent, blocky rhythm over open, text-oriented readability.
Round letters (like O, C, G) show a squarish outer contour with generously rounded corners, and several forms use small apertures that emphasize mass over air. Numerals are similarly wide and stout, designed to hold their shape at large sizes and in high-contrast settings.
