A heavy, block-first sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly radiused corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a compact, tightly packed silhouette. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls (notably in O/0 and D) while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are bold and stable rather than sharp. Lowercase forms are large relative to capitals, with simple, sturdy constructions (single-storey a and g, short-shouldered r) and generally closed apertures that emphasize mass and solidity.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where maximum impact is needed—posters, sports or team identity, product packaging, and bold wayfinding. It can work for brief blocks of text at large sizes, but the dense counters and closed apertures make it less comfortable for long-form reading.
The overall tone is loud and assertive, with a practical, no-nonsense attitude. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly, approachable edge to an otherwise tough, compressed feel, evoking athletic branding and utilitarian signage.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact communication through compact, rounded geometry and strong, even stroke weight. It prioritizes durability and visibility, aiming for a modern-industrial voice with a hint of retro athletic character.
Figures are strongly geometric and display-oriented, with the 0 closely echoing the O. The design favors strong verticals and broad joins, helping it hold together visually in large, high-contrast applications while creating dense texture in paragraphs.
