A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Counters are relatively tight and mostly squarish, with broad verticals and minimal stroke modulation, creating a dense, even color on the page. Uppercase forms are tall and compact with flat terminals, while the lowercase keeps a large x-height and short extenders for a sturdy, compressed rhythm. The numerals follow the same squared, rounded geometry, with simplified shapes and strong horizontal/vertical emphasis for high punch at display sizes.
Best suited to large-scale typography where bold presence matters: posters, headlines, titles, signage, and packaging. It also fits sports and fitness branding, labels, and bold interface moments like hero banners or callouts where quick recognition and strong silhouettes are prioritized.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a sporty, workmanlike energy. Its rounded corners prevent it from feeling harsh, but the weight and compact counters keep it assertive and loud—well suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact using rounded-rectangular, geometric forms that stay friendly while remaining tough and compact. Its consistent, blocky rhythm suggests a focus on bold branding and display readability rather than delicate text setting.
Round letters like O/C/G read more like rounded boxes than circles, reinforcing the superellipse feel. Diagonal-heavy letters (K, V, W, X) stay chunky and stable, and joins are kept simple to preserve bold silhouettes. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense spacing can reduce internal clarity, but the shapes remain highly recognizable in headline contexts.
