A heavy, block-driven sans with softened corners and broadly rounded bowls that feel carved from rounded rectangles. Strokes are consistently thick with modest contrast, producing dense counters and strong, poster-like silhouettes. The uppercase is wide-shouldered and compact, while the lowercase shows a high x-height and simplified forms that keep texture even in long lines. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S are smooth and superelliptical rather than fully circular, and terminals are largely blunt with minimal tapering for a sturdy, uniform rhythm.
This font is well suited to display roles where maximum impact is needed: headlines, posters, large-format signage, and bold packaging. Its compact, rounded-rect geometry also makes it a good fit for athletic or industrial branding and short, punchy typographic statements.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a contemporary, utilitarian energy that reads as sporty and workmanlike. Rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, adding an approachable, modern friendliness while maintaining clear, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, high-impact sans that combines blocky strength with softened, superelliptical curves for contemporary versatility. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent texture across mixed-case text while keeping forms simple and highly legible at larger sizes.
In the sample text the weight creates strong word shapes and high emphasis, while tight inner spaces in letters like a, e, s, and 8 suggest best performance at headline sizes or wherever solid ink coverage is desirable. The numerals are similarly robust and geometric, matching the letters’ compact, squared-round construction.
