A heavy, wide sans with superelliptical construction: rounds are squared-off into rounded rectangles, and counters stay open but compact. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are clean and flat. Curves feel controlled and machined rather than calligraphic, while corners are generously radiused to keep the texture smooth. Overall spacing reads sturdy and even, producing a dense, high-impact word shape in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short display copy where its width and weight can carry impact. It fits branding systems that want a robust, modern presence—such as packaging, sports and fitness graphics, tech-forward marketing, and bold wayfinding-style applications.
The tone is bold and assertive with a modern, engineered friendliness. Its softened corners temper the mass, giving it an approachable, contemporary voice that still feels strong and performance-oriented.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a geometric, superelliptical palette that stays clean and contemporary. By combining broad proportions with softened corners, it aims to be both powerful and approachable in high-visibility settings.
Distinctive squared bowls and rounded-rectangle counters create a recognizable rhythm across letters and numerals. The lowercase shows a sturdy, single-storey feel in key shapes (e.g., a), reinforcing the geometric, sign-like character and maintaining clarity at large sizes.
