A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) bowls and corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with squared terminals and minimal modulation, producing a compact, high-ink silhouette. Counters are generally small and rectangular, and many joins are blunt and geometric, giving letters a machined, cut-out feel. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) read as squarish rounds, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are simplified and sturdy; figures are similarly chunky with squarish curves and tight apertures.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, sports and team graphics, packaging fronts, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It can also work for UI tiles, badges, and large numerals where a dense, geometric voice is desired.
The overall tone is strong and utilitarian, with a sporty, equipment-label presence. Its squared rounding and dense color evoke industrial signage and athletic branding, projecting confidence and impact more than delicacy.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize bold presence while maintaining a clean, geometric system based on rounded rectangles. The consistent corner treatment and compact counters suggest an intention toward sturdy legibility at display sizes and a distinctive, industrial-sport character.
The design favors tight internal space and large exterior mass, which helps at display sizes but can reduce openness in small text. The rhythm feels grid-driven and engineered, with consistent rounding that keeps the blockiness from feeling harsh.
