A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared curves that read as superelliptic rather than purely circular. Strokes are strong and consistent, with clean terminals and minimal modulation, creating a dense color and tight rhythm. Counters are relatively small and squarish, with softened corners that prevent the forms from feeling harsh. The uppercase feels wide-shouldered and stable, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure with simple joins and a robust, high-contrast-in-mass silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports branding, bold packaging labels, and UI moments such as buttons or section headers where strong emphasis and quick recognition are priorities.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting strength and practicality. Its rounded squareness adds a friendly modern edge without becoming playful, giving it a confident, athletic/industrial voice that reads quickly and emphatically.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a modern geometric feel, using rounded-rectilinear curves to keep the weight approachable while maintaining a tough, condensed-looking density. It prioritizes clarity through strong silhouettes and consistent geometry for confident display typography.
Figures and capitals are drawn to maximize impact: broad verticals, compact bowls, and generous corner rounding that keeps the texture cohesive across sizes. The design favors clear silhouettes and strong word shapes over delicate interior detail, making it visually commanding in short bursts of text.
