A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters like O, C, and G a superellipse feel rather than true circles. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, terminals are blunt, and joins are sturdy, producing a dense, emphatic texture. The lowercase is simple and sturdy (single-storey a and g), with tight apertures and short, practical extenders; numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-corner logic for a cohesive set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and event branding, packaging callouts, and bold wayfinding or signage. It can also work for logo wordmarks where a compact, sturdy, rounded-industrial voice is desired, but its dense color suggests avoiding long passages of small text.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, with an athletic, poster-driven energy. Its rounded-square forms feel modern and engineered, while the compact width and heavy mass add a slightly retro, signage-like toughness.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms crisp and engineered while staying approachable. The consistent stroke weight and compact spacing prioritize strong silhouettes and brand presence over delicate detail.
The typeface maintains a steady rhythm and strong silhouette clarity at display sizes, with counters and apertures kept intentionally restrained to preserve weight and impact. Rounded corners prevent the black shapes from feeling harsh, creating a friendlier edge than a purely square grotesk.
