A heavy, squared sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with soft corner radii and largely uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and counters, giving letters like O, C, and G a boxy, engineered feel rather than a circular one. Terminals are predominantly flat and horizontal, and the shapes favor strong verticals with simplified joins; diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are broad and steady, emphasizing solidity. Counters are relatively tight and often squarish, producing dense, high-impact word shapes, while spacing feels sturdy and even for display settings.
Best suited to large-scale typography where its dense shapes and rounded-square construction can read clearly: headlines, posters, wayfinding and labeling, sports and team branding, and bold packaging or product marks. It can also work for short subheads and callouts, but the tight counters suggest avoiding long, small-size text blocks.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, signage-forward presence. Rounded corners keep the voice approachable, but the compact counters and squared construction read as mechanical and authoritative, evoking equipment labeling, arena graphics, and bold headline systems.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, engineered letterforms—combining rounded-corner geometry with blunt terminals to create a strong, contemporary display voice that still nods to retro athletic and industrial graphic traditions.
Several forms incorporate small inset notches or cut-ins (notably in S and some numerals), adding a mildly technical, almost stencil-adjacent detail without breaking the solid silhouette. Numerals follow the same rounded-square logic, with a particularly strong, poster-ready 0–9 set that matches the caps in weight and footprint.
