A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and superelliptical counters, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel rather than a purely geometric roundness. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, terminals are blunt, and many apertures are relatively tight, producing dense, dark text color. Proportions favor broad, stable shapes; diagonals are strong and simplified, and the overall rhythm is compact and punchy in both caps and lowercase.
Well suited to large-scale display work where maximum impact is needed: headlines, posters, sports and team graphics, bold brand marks, packaging fronts, and wayfinding or signage. It can work for short bursts of text (labels, buttons, emphasis) but is visually dense for long-form reading.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, reading as tough, athletic, and slightly retro. Its rounded corners keep the voice friendly enough to avoid harshness, while the dense forms and tight openings maintain a forceful, poster-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans with rounded-rectangle geometry, balancing toughness with approachable softness. Its consistent weight and simplified shapes prioritize clarity at a distance and strong silhouette recognition in branding and display contexts.
In paragraph settings the weight creates substantial visual mass, so spacing and line length will strongly affect readability; it performs best when allowed generous tracking and leading. Numerals match the same squared, rounded construction for a uniform voice across headlines and callouts.
