A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly uniform stroke weight. Corners are strongly softened, producing a superellipse feel throughout, while counters remain relatively tight and geometric. Vertical stems dominate and the proportions are condensed, giving the alphabet a tall, packed rhythm. Openings and terminals tend to be flat and squared-off rather than tapered, reinforcing a sturdy, engineered look across both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to short-form display use where impact matters: headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks. It also fits sports or team-style graphics and bold wayfinding-style messaging. Because the shapes are dense and the counters are tight, it will generally perform better at medium-to-large sizes than in small text.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a sporty, industrial edge reminiscent of signage and athletic branding. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly enough for playful headlines while still feeling authoritative and loud. The dense silhouettes and tight counters add a slightly retro, display-oriented character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangular geometry to keep forms consistent and highly brandable. The uniform stroke and softened corners aim for a balance of toughness and approachability, making it effective for bold, modern display typography with a retro-leaning industrial flavor.
Uppercase forms read particularly uniform and blocklike, and many letters share similar rounded-rectangular bowls, creating a cohesive texture in all-caps settings. Numerals follow the same compact, squared-round logic, and punctuation/marks (as seen in the sample) maintain the same weight and blunt finishing, helping paragraphs feel consistent at larger sizes.
