A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction and softened corners throughout. Curves read as squarish bowls, giving letters like O/C/G/S a sturdy, molded feel, while joins and terminals stay blunt and decisive. Counters are small and often rectangular, and apertures tend toward tight openings, creating a dense, high-impact texture. Proportions emphasize a tall x-height with short extenders and broad capitals, producing a compact, poster-like rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and short display copy where its dense black shape and rounded-square forms can read as intentional and graphic. It works well for sports and streetwear branding, tech or gaming UI headers, packaging callouts, and bold editorial titling that needs a compact, impactful presence.
The overall tone is assertive and modern, with a sporty, industrial confidence. Its rounded geometry adds a friendly, game-like flavor that keeps the weight from feeling harsh, suggesting bold branding and energetic headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact using a cohesive superelliptic geometry, combining industrial sturdiness with approachable rounding. The tall lowercase and compact spacing aim to keep words feeling large and solid in limited space, supporting attention-grabbing display typography.
The design’s squarish rounds and tight internal spaces make it feel punchy at larger sizes, while the dense counters and narrow apertures can make long passages feel heavy. Numerals match the same rounded-rect logic, keeping the set visually consistent for display uses.
