A heavy, block-forward sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and superellipse-like counters, giving letters a machined, compact feel rather than a geometric-circle look. Strokes are predominantly monoline in impression, but with noticeable internal shaping: small notches and tight apertures create an ink-trap-like behavior at joins and inside corners. The rhythm is wide and sturdy, with short extenders, sturdy verticals, and generous horizontal terminals that emphasize a stable, poster-friendly silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and branding where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It also works well for sports-oriented graphics, packaging callouts, and signage where bold shapes and wide proportions help maintain clarity at a distance.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a retro display energy that recalls athletic, industrial, and headline-driven graphics. Its softened corners keep it approachable while the dense black shapes communicate impact and urgency.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangle system, balancing hard-edged blockiness with softened corners for broad, contemporary display use.
Counters tend to be small and rectangular, which increases color and weight on the page and makes spacing feel compact at text sizes. The numerals match the letters’ rounded-rect geometry, reading as signage-oriented and robust rather than delicate or editorial.
