A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with low visible modulation, producing compact counters and strong, dark typographic color. Curves tend toward squarish rounds (notably in C, O, G, and e), while joins are clean and largely orthogonal, giving a machined, engineered feel. Uppercase forms are broad and stable; lowercase shows single-story a and g, a flat-shouldered r, and a short, solid t with a sturdy crossbar. Numerals are equally weighty with simplified, block-like silhouettes and rounded terminals.
Well-suited to attention-grabbing headlines, posters, and bold brand marks where a robust, modern voice is needed. It also fits packaging, wayfinding, and large-format signage where the rounded, blocky construction remains readable and consistent. In longer text, it will be most comfortable in short bursts (taglines, labels, UI section headers) rather than dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is confident and assertive while staying approachable due to the rounded geometry. It reads as contemporary and utilitarian, with a sporty, sign-like presence that emphasizes clarity and impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a compact, rounded-rect geometry that feels both technical and friendly. Its simplified, sturdy forms suggest an emphasis on quick recognition, strong presence, and a contemporary industrial aesthetic.
Spacing appears generous enough for display use, and the wide letterforms help maintain legibility at large sizes despite tight internal counters. The squarish rounding creates a distinctive rhythm in words, especially in sequences with O/C/G and in the bowl-heavy letters like B, P, and R.
