A very heavy, geometric sans with squared-off, superelliptical curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are broad and uniform in feel, with tight counters and a compact internal rhythm that keeps letters from feeling airy. Uppercase forms read as tall and blocky, while lowercase is equally weighty with robust bowls and short, sturdy joins; punctuation and numerals match the same dense, blunt construction. Overall spacing and proportions favor impact over delicacy, producing a dark, cohesive texture in text.
Best suited to display work where maximum impact is desired: posters, headlines, promotional graphics, packaging, and sports or event branding. It can also work for short callouts, labels, and bold UI moments where strong emphasis is needed, while longer passages will typically require larger sizes and comfortable leading.
The font projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone with a friendly edge created by its rounded rectangular shaping. It feels energetic and contemporary, evoking sports branding and bold retail messaging rather than editorial refinement. The dense letterforms give it a confident, assertive voice that holds attention at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability through simplified, geometric construction and rounded-rectangle curves. By keeping details minimal and weight substantial, it aims to stay legible and distinctive in bold applications like branding and signage.
Round letters like O/Q are more squarish than circular, and many curves resolve into flattened arcs, reinforcing the superellipse theme. The shapes stay highly consistent across cases and figures, making the style feel systematic and modular. In longer settings the heaviness produces a strong color, so it benefits from generous line spacing and careful tracking when used at smaller sizes.
