A heavy, block-based sans with squared proportions softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact letterforms and strong vertical emphasis. Counters tend to be rectangular and relatively small, and many joins and terminals are cut with straight, planar angles, giving the alphabet a machined, constructed feel. Uppercase shapes are wide and sturdy, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian structure with simple bowls and short, flat terminals; figures follow the same squared, high-impact construction.
Best suited to short, bold statements such as headlines, posters, team or event branding, and packaging where high contrast against the background is desired. It can also work for signage and labels that need a compact, rugged presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, reading as sporty and industrial rather than delicate or editorial. Its chunky geometry and tight apertures create a no-nonsense, “built for impact” personality that feels at home in tech, equipment, and action-oriented contexts.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact through compact, squared forms and consistent heavy strokes, prioritizing immediacy and durability over nuance. The rounded-rectangle geometry suggests an intent to feel contemporary and engineered while remaining approachable enough for branding use.
The design leans on squarish rounds (notably in C/G/O/0/8/9) and crisp internal cutouts, which heighten the sense of precision. Because counters are compact and the weight is visually dense, the face benefits from generous tracking and sizes where its internal shapes can stay open.
