A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and softened corners, creating a compact, mechanical rhythm. Strokes are broadly uniform, with tight internal counters and a strong horizontal/vertical emphasis; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and minimally tapered. Many joins and terminals show small cut-ins and squared edges that read like engineered notches, while the figures are boxy and highly legible at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography where density and impact are priorities—headlines, posters, apparel/sports marks, packaging panels, and bold wayfinding or labels. The tight counters and heavy mass favor short to medium strings over long passages of small text.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, balancing friendliness from the rounded corners with a tough, industrial edge. It suggests athletic branding and retro machinery—confident, loud, and no-nonsense rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and recognizability using a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle skeleton. Its compact counters and engineered terminal details aim for a rugged, modern-industrial voice that stays readable and cohesive across letters and figures.
Uppercase forms stay compact and rectangular, while lowercase keeps simplified, single-storey shapes with sturdy stems and short, squared shoulders. The numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic (notably the squared 0 and the angular 2/3), giving the set a consistent, sign-like personality.
