A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Counters are tight and often squarish, producing dense interior spaces and a compact, poster-ready color. Strokes stay consistently thick with only subtle modulation, and terminals are blunt, emphasizing a solid, carved silhouette. Curves (C, G, O, S) read as superelliptical rather than purely circular, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable. Numerals are equally weighty and geometric, designed to hold their shape at large sizes.
Best suited to large-size settings where its compact counters and dense weight can read as intentional impact—headlines, posters, bold brand marks, and short callouts. It also works well for packaging and signage where a sturdy, high-contrast silhouette is needed from a distance.
The overall tone is loud and assertive, projecting strength and immediacy. Its rounded geometry keeps the impact friendly rather than aggressive, giving it a sporty, industrial feel with a slightly retro display flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a geometric, rounded-rect aesthetic—prioritizing strong silhouettes, tight rhythm, and consistent mass for attention-grabbing display typography.
Spacing appears intentionally tight in text, creating a unified slab of black that suits headlines. The lowercase maintains the same chunky, squared rhythm as the caps, with simplified forms that prioritize silhouette clarity over delicate detail.
