A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters a superelliptical, stamped look rather than purely circular geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and shapes feel compact and sturdy with broad shoulders and blunt terminals. The lowercase maintains simple, chunky forms with single-story shapes where applicable, while numerals and capitals follow the same squared, softened silhouette for a tightly unified texture.
Best suited to big, attention-grabbing typography such as headlines, posters, campaign graphics, and packaging. It can also work well for sports branding, merchandise, and bold signage where the rounded-rect geometry reads clearly from a distance.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a retro display energy that reads as sporty and utilitarian. Its rounded squareness feels friendly but forceful—more “headline poster” than “quiet editorial.”
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, industrial-meets-retro personality, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep the weight approachable while remaining highly assertive on the page.
The squarish counters and rounded corners create a distinctive rhythm that stays legible at large sizes, but the dense silhouettes and tight internal spaces can feel heavy in long passages. The design’s consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures reinforces a strong, logo-like cohesiveness.
