A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes stay uniform with minimal modulation, creating dense, high-impact silhouettes and a steady rhythm. Counters are squarish and open enough for clarity at display sizes, while terminals are clean and blunt. Uppercase forms feel compact and sturdy; lowercase is simplified and largely single-storey in flavor, with short extenders and a workmanlike, uniform texture.
Best suited for headlines and short text where maximum impact is needed—posters, brand marks, labels, and wayfinding. The sturdy shapes and softened corners also work well for sports, tech, and consumer packaging where a strong but friendly voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, combining a utilitarian, industrial backbone with approachable rounded edges. It reads as modern and pragmatic while also nodding to retro signage and athletic branding aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver high visual weight with clean, geometric consistency, using rounded-rectangle forms to stay approachable while remaining assertive. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and straightforward letterforms for display-driven communication.
Round characters like O, Q, and 0 lean toward superelliptical bowls rather than true circles, and the joins in letters like M, N, and W emphasize a robust, engineered feel. Numerals are wide and solid, designed to hold their shape in bold settings, and the punctuation shown matches the same blunt, no-nonsense construction.
