A heavy, compact sans with a superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, and corners are consistently softened rather than fully circular. Strokes are monolinear and sturdy, with broad verticals and squared terminals that keep the silhouette tight. The uppercase set reads tall and assertive, while the lowercase keeps simple, schematic forms (single-storey a and g) and short, sturdy joins. Numerals are similarly block-built with rounded corners, designed to hold their shape at large sizes and in high-contrast settings.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging callouts, and signage where strong silhouettes matter. It also works well for short UI labels or navigation elements that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is blunt, modern, and functional, leaning toward industrial and sports branding aesthetics. Its chunky geometry and rounded corners temper the aggressiveness of the weight, giving it an approachable but no-nonsense voice. The rhythm feels engineered and signage-like, favoring clarity and impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a disciplined geometric system—rounded-rectangle forms, tight spacing, and robust strokes—aimed at modern display use. It prioritizes durability and recognizability across words, numbers, and mixed-case settings.
Counters are relatively tight and the apertures lean closed, which strengthens mass and logo presence but can reduce internal whitespace in dense text. The design maintains a consistent corner radius across letters and numbers, helping it feel cohesive in all-caps headlines and short UI labels.
