A heavy, geometric sans with squarish bowls built from rounded-rectangle forms and consistently softened corners. Strokes are monoline and dense, with wide counters that stay open despite the weight, and terminals that read as clean cuts rather than tapered endings. The overall rhythm is compact and sturdy, with a slightly condensed feel in many shapes, giving text a tight, efficient texture. Figures match the letters in mass and presence, with robust, straightforward construction suited to bold settings.
Best suited to headlines, logos, and short bursts of text where weight and shape can carry the message—such as posters, packaging, wayfinding, and bold UI moments. It can also work for team, fitness, or industrial-themed branding where a compact, muscular texture is desirable.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, combining a modern, engineered feel with a familiar sports/industrial poster energy. Its rounded corners soften the impact just enough to keep it approachable while still reading as tough and commanding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with minimal stylistic noise: a monoline, rounded-rect geometry that stays legible at display sizes while projecting strength and reliability. Its consistent corner treatment and blocky proportions suggest a focus on cohesive, scalable branding and signage applications.
Round letters like C, O, Q, and G lean toward squared silhouettes, reinforcing a superelliptical theme across the set. The lowercase keeps simple, workmanlike forms and a strong vertical emphasis, which helps maintain clarity in large blocks of copy.
