A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are squared-off with softened corners, and counters are compact, producing dense, punchy silhouettes. Terminals are blunt and flat, with minimal stroke modulation and a straightforward, upright stance. The lowercase is built with a tall x-height and sturdy verticals; overall spacing and proportions favor tight, signlike clarity over delicacy.
Well-suited to large-scale typography where immediate recognition matters—posters, headlines, storefront signage, and bold brand marks. The compact counters and hefty shapes also work well for packaging and athletic or team-oriented graphics where a strong, contemporary presence is desired.
The font communicates strength and directness, with a no-nonsense tone that feels sporty and industrial. Its rounded-square geometry adds a contemporary, friendly edge while keeping the overall voice assertive and attention-grabbing.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a cohesive rounded-square geometry, offering a modern alternative to traditional grotesks for display settings. The emphasis appears to be on bold readability, compact rhythm, and a confident, utilitarian personality.
Round letters such as C, G, O, Q, and S read as squared curves, while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, Y, and Z are kept thick and stable. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded-corner logic for a consistent, display-oriented texture.
