A heavy, squared sans with softened corners and superellipse-like curves that keep forms sturdy rather than geometric-perfect. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and compact apertures, especially in letters like S, a, and e. The proportions are broad with flat-sided rounds (C/O) and sturdy verticals; joins and terminals are clean and mostly horizontal/vertical, giving a machined, sign-ready feel. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with large internal shapes and a strong, stable baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, large-format posters, and signage where its dense weight and wide stance can deliver immediate impact. It also fits packaging, labels, and bold UI moments such as hero banners or navigation headers, especially when a sturdy, industrial tone is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a bold, athletic energy that reads as modern-industrial with a hint of retro poster and sports branding. Its rounded-square geometry keeps it friendly enough for consumer packaging while still feeling tough and authoritative.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and clarity through thick strokes, broad proportions, and rounded-rectangle construction. It aims for a contemporary, hard-working sans that feels engineered and dependable while staying approachable through softened corners.
The texture in paragraphs is dark and even, so spacing and internal counters do a lot of the legibility work at smaller sizes. Rounded corners prevent the weight from feeling overly harsh, but the tight openings mean it performs best when given generous size or leading.
