A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly radiused corners throughout. Bowls and counters tend toward squarish forms (notably in O/0 and the lowercase o), while strokes stay broadly uniform with minimal modulation. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, with occasional angled joins that add a mechanical, cut-from-plate feel. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with short extenders and simplified shapes that keep wordforms dense and punchy; numerals match the same squared, superelliptical logic and read clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where mass and presence matter—posters, signage, and high-contrast packaging. It also fits sports branding, team graphics, and tech or industrial-themed identities that benefit from a squared, engineered voice.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial confidence that also reads sporty and competition-ready. Its rounded corners temper the severity, giving it a contemporary, engineered friendliness rather than a sharp, aggressive edge.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual weight with controlled, rounded geometry—combining a machined, modular feel with approachable corners for bold, contemporary display typography.
The design leans on strong internal negative shapes and tight apertures, which boosts impact in large settings but can make smaller text feel dense. The rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting bold, uniform typography in short bursts.
