A heavy, geometric sans with superellipse construction: bowls and counters are built from rounded rectangles, producing squarish curves and crisp, stable silhouettes. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly flat with softened corners, giving a machined, stamped feel. Proportions favor large interior space and open apertures, and the lowercase shows a simple, single-storey structure (notably in a and g) with minimal detailing. Figures are similarly blocky and rounded, with clear, sign-like forms and a uniform rhythm across the set.
Best suited to display contexts where strong presence and quick recognition matter: posters, headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks. Its rounded-rect geometry also works well for wayfinding and UI labels at larger sizes, where the open counters and simplified forms hold up in high-contrast applications.
The overall tone is robust and practical, combining an industrial straightforwardness with a softened, approachable edge from the rounded corners. It evokes sports and utility lettering—confident, high-impact, and slightly retro—without becoming playful or decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a clean, contemporary construction, using superellipse rounding to soften an otherwise industrial, blocky skeleton. The emphasis is on bold legibility and a cohesive, geometric rhythm across letters and numbers.
The design leans on squared-off geometry rather than pure circles, so curves read as controlled and architectural. The punctuation and joins shown in the sample text maintain the same sturdy, rounded-rect logic, helping the font feel cohesive in dense settings.
