A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and superellipse forms. Strokes stay consistently thick with squared terminals softened by generous corner rounding, producing a blocky silhouette that remains smooth rather than sharp. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, and the overall proportions feel sturdy and slightly condensed, with large lowercase bodies and short extenders that keep lines visually dense. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, rounded construction for a very uniform, modular rhythm.
Best suited for large-scale display work where its compact counters and heavy strokes can project clearly: headlines, posters, packaging, logos, and bold UI labels. It also fits wayfinding and sports or esports graphics, where a strong, modular sans reads as confident and immediate.
The tone is bold and functional, with an industrial, scoreboard-like confidence. Its rounded corners add approachability to an otherwise strong, utilitarian voice, giving it a modern tech and athletic flavor with a subtle retro signage feel.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, combining a tough, engineered structure with softened corners for friendliness. The consistent construction across letters and figures suggests an emphasis on visual uniformity and high recognition at display sizes.
The design leans on straight-sided geometry: curves resolve into rounded corners rather than true circular arcs, which makes round letters read as soft boxes. The dense internal spaces and thick joins amplify weight and impact, especially in all-caps settings and large headlines.
