A compact, heavy display face built from squared, superellipse-like outlines with consistently rounded corners. Strokes are thick and even, with tight apertures and small counters that create strong, solid silhouettes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, and terminals stay blunt and controlled. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with sturdy numerals and a squared dot on the i/j that matches the boxy construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team marks, product packaging, and bold wayfinding or labels. It can work for brief subheads or pull quotes when given enough size and spacing to keep the interior shapes from filling in.
The tone is loud and utilitarian, with a rugged, workmanlike confidence. Its condensed, block-forward shapes evoke athletic branding, industrial signage, and retro headline typography where impact matters more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay friendly while remaining tough and highly legible at display sizes.
In text, the compact counters and narrow internal spaces can darken quickly, so it reads best with generous tracking or at larger sizes. The lowercase maintains the same squared construction as the caps, giving mixed-case settings a uniform, heavyweight texture.
