A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry and largely uniform stroke thickness. Corners are softened but the overall silhouette stays squared and compact, with wide stems, short apertures, and tight internal counters that read as small rectangular cutouts in several glyphs. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and sturdy, simplified forms, while round letters like O/C/G lean more squarish than circular. Across letters and numerals there are small notch-like incisions at joins and corners, giving a subtly engineered, stencil-adjacent texture without breaking the glyphs apart.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and branding systems where maximum weight and compact shapes help dominate the page. It also fits sports-themed graphics, merch, signage, and packaging that benefit from a rugged, engineered look and consistent, high-impact numerals.
The tone is loud and unapologetic—built for impact rather than delicacy. Its rounded block shapes and notched detailing evoke athletic branding and industrial labeling, with a mild retro display flavor that feels tough, utilitarian, and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient display voice using superelliptical forms and reinforced joins, adding notch-like cut details to increase character and prevent dark, featureless blobs at large weights.
Spacing and shapes are optimized for big sizes: counters are intentionally tight and some joins are reinforced, which can make dense text feel heavy at smaller sizes. Numerals follow the same squared, cut-in aesthetic, keeping the set visually consistent for headlines and large-scale graphics.
