A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are thick and even, with tight counters and minimal modulation, producing a dense, high-impact texture. Terminals are blunt and clean, and many curves (notably in bowls and shoulders) resolve into superellipse-like corners rather than perfect circles. Overall spacing and proportions favor economy of width, giving words a compressed, stacked rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and on-screen titles where impact and compactness matter. It can work well for logos and brand wordmarks that need a strong, modern presence, as well as wayfinding or short UI labels when set with sufficient size and spacing.
The tone is confident and no-nonsense, leaning toward bold signage and sporty branding. Its rounded squareness keeps it friendly enough to avoid harshness, while the dense weight and compact forms project strength and urgency. The result feels contemporary, functional, and attention-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-square geometry for a modern, approachable edge. It prioritizes bold presence and consistent texture over airy readability, making it a natural fit for display-driven typography.
The bold weight makes interior spaces small in letters like B, P, R, and e, which can increase visual punch but may reduce clarity at very small sizes. Numerals match the same compact, blocky logic, maintaining a consistent, sturdy color across mixed alphanumeric settings.
