A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened corners throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters like O/C/G a superelliptical feel rather than true circularity. Strokes are monoline and dense, with short apertures and compact internal spaces; terminals are clean and squared, and joins stay crisp, producing a sturdy, sign-like texture in text. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while lowercase keeps simple, utilitarian constructions with minimal modulation and clear, mechanical rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where dense letterforms and squared rounding can project strength and clarity. It also works well for branding, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from an engineered, industrial look, and for sports or event graphics needing a compact, energetic typographic voice.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial and slightly retro-tech flavor. Its squared rounding and compact counters create a confident, sporty voice that reads as functional and engineered rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to merge the directness of a blocky grotesque with rounded-rectangle construction, creating a robust display sans that feels technical and contemporary while nodding to retro industrial lettering. The consistent monoline weight and controlled apertures prioritize solidity and visual punch over delicacy.
The punctuation and figures shown follow the same rounded-rect logic: numerals are chunky and highly stable, with 0/8/9 built from squared bowls and relatively tight counters. The sample text shows a strong, even color and high impact at display sizes, with a texture that remains consistent across mixed case.
