A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions and generously rounded corners, built from boxy curves and straight strokes. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes, giving letters like O, D, and P a compact, engineered feel. Joins and terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, with occasional angled cuts that add a mechanical, segmented rhythm in letters like S and Z. The lowercase follows the same rigid geometry, with a single-storey a and a compact, rectangular g; numerals are similarly squared and sturdy for high-impact display use.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short punchy copy where the chunky geometry can carry visual weight. It also fits sports and fitness branding, gaming or tech interfaces, and packaging that benefits from a tough, engineered voice.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its squared curves and cut terminals suggest technology, machinery, and performance-driven branding rather than softness or handwriting warmth.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive, modular geometry—prioritizing strong silhouettes, compact counters, and a consistent rounded-rectangle motif for modern display typography.
Spacing appears open enough to keep dense shapes from clogging, while the tall, squared forms create a strong vertical presence. Several glyphs lean on simplified, modular construction, which helps consistency in logos and headings but can feel intentionally rigid in long reading settings.
