A heavy, compact sans with broad, rounded-rectangle curves and squared-off terminals. The forms lean on superellipse geometry: counters are tight and rounded, corners are softened, and joins stay clean and solid. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense color and a strong vertical rhythm. Uppercase shapes are tall and stable, while the lowercase maintains simple, sturdy constructions with short, blunt terminals and a utilitarian, engineered feel.
Best suited for large-scale typography where weight and silhouette do the work—headlines, posters, signage, and impactful packaging. It also fits sports and team-style branding, as well as bold interface moments such as labels, badges, and section headers where a compact, sturdy voice is needed.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a confident, poster-ready presence. Its rounded corners soften the aggression just enough to feel contemporary, while the blocky silhouettes suggest athletic, industrial, and headline-driven design contexts.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a simplified geometric construction, prioritizing bold legibility and a cohesive, rounded-rectangular aesthetic. The consistent weight and softened corners suggest an intention to feel strong and modern without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The font’s tight apertures and compact counters create high impact at display sizes, but also make the texture feel dense. Numerals match the same rounded-rectilinear logic, giving data and scores a cohesive, bold personality.
