A heavy, blocky sans with squared-off proportions softened by rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, even color on the page. Curves in letters like C, O, S, and 0 are built from superelliptic geometry—more square than circular—while joins and terminals are clean and blunt. The lowercase is compact with simple forms and short extenders; punctuation-like features (such as the t crossbar and i/j dots) are rectangular and emphatic, reinforcing the utilitarian rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, team or event branding, and bold wayfinding or environmental graphics. It can work in subheads and callouts where strong presence and quick recognition matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a confident, athletic presence. Its square-rounded construction suggests contemporary industrial design and durable signage, reading as tough, energetic, and straightforward rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through a sturdy, geometric build—favoring squared curves, blunt terminals, and consistent stroke weight for a contemporary, utilitarian voice. It prioritizes clarity at large sizes and a distinctive, engineered silhouette for branding and display typography.
The figures are particularly strong and sign-like, with wide, stable shapes and squared inner counters (notably in 0 and 8). The uppercase set feels engineered and uniform, while the lowercase retains the same geometric logic for consistency in mixed-case text. Tight internal spacing in several glyphs gives it a compact, high-impact look at display sizes.
