A heavy, block-like sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into squared rounds, giving counters and bowls a compact, squarish feel, while corners are consistently softened rather than sharp. Proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in rhythm, with a tall lowercase presence and short extenders that keep lines looking dense and even. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall geometry reads as engineered and highly consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited for large-scale typography where maximum impact and quick recognition are needed—headlines, posters, and prominent labels. Its compact, squared-round forms also work well for signage and sports or industrial branding systems, especially when you want a dense, powerful typographic color.
The tone is confident and forceful, with a utilitarian, industrial edge softened by rounded corners. It feels sporty and attention-grabbing, suited to bold statements rather than delicate nuance. The squared rounds add a retro-modern flavor that suggests signage, equipment, and high-impact branding.
Designed to deliver a strong, compact voice using a rounded-rectangle geometry that stays consistent across the set. The intent appears to be high visibility and a cohesive, engineered look that remains friendly enough for modern branding while still feeling tough and utilitarian.
The rounded-rectangular counters stay fairly closed at smaller apertures, creating strong dark shapes and a solid texture in paragraph blocks. Numerals follow the same squarish, softened geometry, helping mixed text maintain a uniform, robust color.
