A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving letters a squared-off roundness rather than circular geometry. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, while joins and terminals are clean and sturdy. Proportions run on the broad side with large, rectangular counters in forms like O and 0, and tight apertures in letters such as S and a, producing a dense, punchy texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It works well for branding systems that need a sturdy, contemporary-industrial voice, and for sports or entertainment graphics, packaging, and signage where the rounded-square construction can become a distinctive visual motif.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a confident, engineered feel. Its rounded-square shapes add a friendly, game-like edge that reads as sporty and slightly retro rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rect geometry, combining sign-like solidity with softened corners for approachability. It aims for a contemporary display voice that stays legible at large sizes while maintaining a consistent, industrial rhythm.
Uppercase forms are especially strong and sign-like, with squared bowls (B, D, P, R) and a prominent, rectangular rhythm across the line. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, with sturdy, display-oriented shapes that prioritize impact over delicacy.
