A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like construction and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monoline and dense, with tight counters and short apertures that create a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than calligraphic bowls, producing flat-ish shoulders and clipped-looking terminals. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with simple single-storey forms and minimal modulation; numerals follow the same chunky, squared rhythm for a uniform texture in mixed text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks that need immediate impact in limited horizontal space. It works well for sports or team-style graphics, utilitarian signage, and bold packaging where a compact, blocky rhythm helps maintain legibility at a distance.
The overall tone feels forceful and functional, like signage or athletic branding where clarity and impact matter more than delicacy. Its rounded corners soften the aggression of the weight, giving it a friendly but still assertive, workmanlike voice with a subtle retro-industrial flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and presence with a geometric, rounded-rectangle skeleton, balancing toughness with approachable corners. It prioritizes consistent texture and compact fit, aiming for confident display typography that remains straightforward and practical.
Large sizes read extremely solid and graphic, while long text blocks become quite dark due to the narrow inner spaces and compact letter spacing. The superelliptical bowls and straight-sided stems create a strong vertical cadence, and the squarish curves keep the texture consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
