A heavy, blocky display sans with a squared skeleton softened by consistently rounded corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense, dark letterforms with tight internal counters and broad, flat terminals. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and shoulders a squarish, superelliptic feel; diagonals appear sparingly and read as firm, slightly chiseled joins. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with simplified details and minimal modulation for strong silhouette clarity at larger sizes.
Best suited for headlines, logos, and short bursts of copy where weight and shape can do the work—posters, sports and team-style graphics, product packaging, and bold UI labels. It can also serve in large-size editorial callouts or section headers when a sturdy, compact texture is desired.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, leaning toward industrial and athletic signage. Its rounded-square construction adds a friendly softness to an otherwise tough, commanding presence, creating a confident, poster-ready voice with a subtle retro flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clean, modern construction rooted in rounded-rectangle forms. By keeping contrast low and corners consistently softened, it aims for strong legibility in display settings while maintaining a distinctive, cohesive geometric personality.
Uppercase forms feel especially uniform and monolithic, while lowercase maintains the same squared-round logic for a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same compact, rounded-rect aesthetic, prioritizing impact over delicate differentiation.
