A heavy, compact sans with squarish, superellipse-derived shapes and generously rounded corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark silhouettes and tight counters. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, and curves resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, giving letters a sturdy, machined feel. The lowercase is built from simplified, blocky forms with short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals follow the same robust, closed-in construction for strong, consistent color.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, bold headlines, branding marks, sports and team graphics, and packaging where strong typographic weight is an asset. It can work in UI or signage for emphasis labels, but longer passages will generally benefit from generous size and spacing to maintain legibility.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense: assertive, sporty, and slightly industrial. Its chunky geometry and tight apertures give it a forceful, attention-grabbing presence that reads as modern and utilitarian rather than delicate or lyrical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact through compact, superellipse geometry and uniform heavy strokes, prioritizing bold presence and consistency over open counters and fine detail.
At larger sizes the crisp superellipse curves and squared bowls become a defining personality trait, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and compact joins may begin to fill in and reduce internal clarity. The capital set feels especially strong for impact lines, with wide, blocky proportions and simplified structure.
