A heavy, block-structured sans with softened corners and squarish, superellipse-inspired curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with large counters that keep letters from clogging despite the weight. Round glyphs like O/C/G read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while verticals and horizontals stay crisp and straight. The design favors compact joins and sturdy terminals; diagonals in forms like K, V, W, X, and Y are broad and stable, and the numerals follow the same squared, robust construction.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, titles, and short bursts of copy where impact matters more than subtlety. Its sturdy geometry and open counters make it a strong candidate for branding, packaging, and signage, especially where a compact, athletic, or industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is loud and self-assured, with a friendly edge from the rounded geometry. It feels sporty and industrial at once—like signage and team branding—while still coming across approachable rather than aggressive. The rhythm is punchy and attention-grabbing, suited to bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with clean, geometric construction and softened edges, creating a bold presence without sharp severity. Its superellipse-based forms suggest a deliberate move toward a modern, engineered look that stays friendly and highly legible in large applications.
The lowercase is built with simple, geometric shapes and minimal modulation, producing a strong, uniform texture in text lines. Apertures are relatively tight and the squared curves give the face a distinctive, engineered personality that remains clear at display sizes.
