A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Strokes are largely uniform and monolinear, with a compact, sturdy rhythm and minimal contrast. Many joins and terminals show small triangular notches and cut-ins that act like ink-trap details, giving counters and apertures a crisp, engineered edge. The lowercase is tall and robust, with broad, squarish bowls and short, simplified terminals; figures are similarly chunky and designed to hold their shape at impact sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and bold wayfinding where its dense shapes and distinctive notches can read clearly. It can also work for tight subheads or callouts, but the compact counters suggest avoiding long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and functional, evoking industrial labeling, sports branding, and retro display typography. Its rounded massing keeps it friendly, while the notched details add a tough, technical attitude that reads as confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch with rounded, superelliptic forms while preserving clarity through strategic cut-ins at joins and terminals. The result is a contemporary display workhorse that balances friendly rounded geometry with an industrial, engineered finish.
The face maintains strong consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with tight interior spaces and distinctly squared curves that emphasize solidity. The notched cuts are a defining signature and become more apparent as sizes increase, adding texture without introducing ornament.
