A very heavy, monoline sans with squarish, superellipse-like counters and consistently rounded corners. Curves resolve into flattened arcs and rounded rectangles, giving letters like O/C/G and the bowls of B/P/R a boxy, engineered feel rather than a circular one. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are firm, and diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) read as thick, stable wedges. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey forms (a, g) and a squared, geometric rhythm that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited to large-size applications where weight and silhouette do the work: headlines, posters, logos, product packaging, and wayfinding/signage. It can also serve as a bold typographic accent in UI or editorial layouts when used sparingly for labels, section headers, and callouts.
The overall tone is bold, utilitarian, and confident, with a slightly retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of athletic branding and engineered signage. Its rounded-rectangle geometry softens the mass, keeping the voice friendly enough for contemporary UI or packaging while still feeling tough and assertive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through compact, rounded-rect geometry and consistent stroke weight, balancing a rugged, industrial presence with approachable rounded corners. It prioritizes clarity by silhouette and strong rhythm, making it effective for branding-forward, high-contrast typographic systems.
Wide interior apertures are kept deliberately tight by the heavy stroke, creating strong silhouette recognition at display sizes. The numerals follow the same rounded-rect construction, with simple, punchy forms that prioritize impact over delicacy.
