A heavy, blocky sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, with broad strokes, softened corners, and tightly contained counters. Curves are squared-off rather than fully circular, giving bowls and round letters a compact, engineered feel. The rhythm is sturdy and even, with a tall x-height and short extenders; joins and terminals are mostly blunt, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X, Y) read clean and forceful. Numerals follow the same squared, robust logic for a consistent, signage-friendly texture.
Best suited for large-size applications where impact and instant recognition matter—headlines, posters, logos, and bold branding systems. It can also work well on packaging and apparel graphics where a strong, industrial-sport voice is desired, and in short UI labels or signage when space is tight and a chunky, rounded-square look is intentional.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, projecting strength and utility with a slightly retro, athletic flavor. Its rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, balancing toughness with approachability.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a squared-round geometry that stays cohesive across letters and numbers. The goal appears to be a tough, contemporary display voice that remains friendly and legible through rounded corners and ample interior space.
The uppercase set feels particularly poster-ready due to its large interiors and stable silhouettes, while the lowercase remains dense and compact, emphasizing a solid typographic “wall” in longer lines. The superelliptical construction makes the font feel mechanical and uniform, especially in O/C/G-style forms.
