A heavy, squared sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with softly radiused corners and predominantly straight, planar strokes. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls rather than circles, creating compact counters in letters like B, D, O, and 8. Terminals are mostly blunt and horizontal/vertical, with occasional angled joins in A, K, V, W, X, and Y that feel engineered rather than calligraphic. The lowercase is robust and simplified, with sturdy verticals, short extenders, and a single-storey a; punctuation and figures follow the same squared, slabby rhythm with clear, blocklike forms.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a strong, compact texture is desirable. It will also work well for sports branding, product packaging, badges, and UI/tech graphics at display sizes where the squared counters and rounded corners remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking sports branding, industrial labeling, and sci‑fi interface typography. Its rounded-square construction softens the mass slightly, but the dominant impression remains tough, functional, and assertive.
The design intent appears to be a high-impact display sans with a geometric, rounded-square construction that prioritizes solidity and instant recognizability. It aims to deliver a rugged, contemporary voice while maintaining consistent, modular shapes across letters and numerals.
Many glyphs show rectangular apertures and inset corners (notably in E/F and the interior shapes of B/8), reinforcing a machined, modular feel. The spacing appears tuned for large sizes, where the tight counters and heavy joins read as intentional texture rather than crowding.
