A very heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction across bowls and counters. Strokes are thick and even, with small apertures and tightly enclosed counters that emphasize mass and solidity. Terminals are blunt and mostly squared off, softened by generous corner rounding; curves read as squarish rather than circular. Proportions are relatively wide and steady, with a strong baseline presence and minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-ready texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where its heavy weight and compact rhythm can deliver impact. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, rounded-industrial character. For longer text, it will perform best at larger sizes or with generous leading to avoid an overly dense page color.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its softened corners keep it approachable, but the dense black shapes and tight apertures give it a punchy, no-nonsense voice reminiscent of athletic branding and bold retro signage.
The design appears aimed at maximum visibility and punch while maintaining a friendly, contemporary geometric voice. The rounded-rectangle skeleton and blunt terminals suggest an intention to feel engineered and modern, optimized for strong display presence rather than delicate typographic nuance.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably the "a" and "g"), reinforcing a simplified, geometric feel. In the sample text, spacing and sidebearings read compact, creating a strong, continuous rhythm; at smaller sizes the enclosed counters may darken quickly, making it best when it can breathe.
