A heavy, block-driven sans with squared curves and generously rounded corners, giving most letters a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast and an even, upright stance. Counters tend to be small and often appear as squared or inset openings, which increases density and impact, while terminals are blunt and cleanly cut. Overall spacing reads compact and purposeful, with sturdy verticals and simplified geometry that favors bold silhouettes over delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact messages where its dense shapes and small counters stay crisp at larger sizes. It works well for posters, packaging, apparel graphics, and sports or event branding, and can also serve signage and wayfinding where bold, simplified forms are desired.
The font communicates strength and immediacy, with a confident, no-nonsense tone. Its rounded-square construction softens the mass just enough to feel approachable, landing in a sporty, industrial space with a subtle retro flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, rounded-rectangular geometry and uniform stroke weight, creating a cohesive set of bold, easily recognizable shapes for display typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward condensed, sign-like proportions, while the lowercase maintains a similarly constructed, compact rhythm. Numerals share the same squared-counter logic, producing highly uniform color in lines of text and a strong poster-like presence at display sizes.
