A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are broad and even, with compact internal counters and short, squared terminals that create a dense, high-impact texture. Curves tend to resolve into superelliptical bowls rather than true circles, and the overall silhouette reads as solid and slightly condensed in feel despite normal overall width. The lowercase maintains a large x-height and simplified forms, while figures are sturdy and tightly spaced, optimized for bold display presence.
Best suited for big, attention-grabbing applications such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, sports branding, and bold packaging. It also works well for short interface labels or signage where a compact, high-contrast silhouette is needed, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels at home in sports, industrial, and retro signage contexts. Its rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, approachable edge to an otherwise tough, blocky personality.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact with a simplified, rounded-rect geometry—prioritizing strong silhouettes, consistent rhythm, and a compact, punchy texture for display typography. The softened corners suggest an intent to balance toughness with approachability, evoking modern industrial and retro athletic cues.
The design emphasizes mass and silhouette over fine interior detail: apertures and counters are relatively small, and joins are handled with blunt, geometric transitions. This produces strong headline impact, but the dense color suggests it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where interior spaces can breathe.
