A heavy, square-rounded sans with a superellipse construction: bowls and counters are built from rounded rectangles, while strokes stay predominantly straight and orthogonal. Curves terminate in broad, softly radiused corners, giving letters a sturdy, machined silhouette. Apertures are generally tight and counters are compact, producing a dense texture and strong word shapes; the lowercase shows single-storey a and g, and the numerals share the same squared, rounded geometry for a consistent set.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, packaging panels, and signage where its compact, blocky shapes can carry visual weight. It can also work for UI labels or badges when used at larger sizes and with careful tracking to prevent crowding.
The overall tone is tough and functional, with a sporty, industrial flavor that recalls scoreboard, equipment labeling, and mid-century display typography. Its compact forms and squared curves feel engineered and confident rather than friendly or delicate.
The design intention appears to be a robust display sans built from squared, rounded forms to maximize presence and maintain a cohesive, engineered look across letters and figures. It aims for strong legibility at display sizes through simplified construction and consistent corner radii.
Diagonal letters like K, V, W, X, and Y use thick, stable joins and maintain the squared-corner logic, which reinforces an even, constructed rhythm across capitals and lowercase. The design prioritizes impact and uniformity over open apertures, so it reads best when allowed sufficient size and spacing.
