A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls and softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with little modulation, producing dark, compact lettershapes and strong vertical emphasis. Counters are small and squarish, apertures tend to be tight, and curves resolve into broad, flattened arcs rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, with occasional small notches and squared joins that create a slightly mechanical, cut-out impression. The numerals share the same sturdy geometry, with broad forms and minimal interior space for maximum presence.
Best suited to display contexts where impact matters: posters, large headlines, sports or team-style branding, and bold promotional graphics. It also works well for signage, labels, and packaging that need a compact, high-visibility voice, especially when set with a bit of extra spacing to keep the dark texture from closing in.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a sporty, poster-ready punch. Its compact, ink-heavy shapes read as tough and no-nonsense—suggesting uniforms, machinery labeling, and bold headlines rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority using rounded-rectangular construction and compact counters, creating a robust, engineered look that stays legible at large sizes and holds up in high-contrast applications.
At larger sizes the rounded-square construction and tight counters become a defining texture, creating a dense rhythm across lines. In longer text blocks the weight and narrow internal space can make word shapes feel packed, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used beyond short phrases.
