A heavy, block-leaning sans with rounded-rectangle curves and squarish counters that create a soft-cornered, superelliptic feel. Strokes are consistently thick, with minimal modulation and broad, stable stems. Apertures tend to be tight and counters compact, producing a dense texture that holds together strongly at display sizes. The lowercase has a tall, sturdy build with simple, squared terminals, while figures are chunky and highly uniform, emphasizing solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks where strong impact and a compact, muscular texture are desirable. It works well for sports, streetwear, and industrial-themed design systems, and can also serve as a commanding UI or signage face when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and utilitarian—more athletic and industrial than refined. Its rounded corners temper the aggressiveness, giving it a friendly, modern toughness suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a cohesive rounded-rectangle construction, balancing toughness with approachability. Its simplified terminals and compact counters suggest a focus on reproducible, logo-friendly shapes that stay bold and consistent across varied letterforms.
The set reads best when given breathing room; in long lines the dense counters and tight apertures can make paragraphs feel dark and compressed. The superelliptic geometry gives curves a distinctive squared-off personality, keeping forms consistent and logo-like.
