A heavy, squared-off sans with rounded corners and superellipse-like curves that give letters a soft-rectangular silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and compact apertures, while curves transition into straights with firm, machined-looking joints. The lowercase is robust and large relative to the capitals, with short extenders and a generally compact rhythm that keeps words feeling solid and tightly built. Numerals and caps echo the same rounded-rectangle construction, emphasizing stability and uniform color on the line.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and bold branding where its compact, sturdy shapes can deliver immediate impact. It also works well for packaging and signage that needs strong legibility at a distance, and for sports or tech-oriented graphics where a machined, geometric voice is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a contemporary, engineered feel. Rounded corners keep it approachable and slightly playful, balancing the font’s mass and making it read as sporty and tech-forward rather than harsh. It communicates confidence and impact, suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The font appears designed to maximize visual punch while maintaining a controlled, geometric consistency. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intention to feel modern and engineered, with softened corners to preserve friendliness and accessibility in display use.
The design leans on closed shapes and squared curves, so at smaller sizes counters can look tight and darken quickly. In larger settings the consistent geometry becomes a defining character, delivering a strong, logo-like presence with a clean, modern cadence.
