A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and consistently softened corners. Strokes are uniform and thick, with minimal contrast and a generally rectangular construction that keeps counters relatively tight. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in C, G, O, Q, and 0), while diagonals are firm and straight, giving letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y a clean, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and the lowercase follows a sturdy, single-storey, block-oriented logic with short extenders and simple forms.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and logo wordmarks where its compact, squared forms can read as strong and intentional. It also fits sports branding, product packaging, labels, and UI moments that call for an assertive, technical display voice.
The overall tone is tough and functional, leaning toward sports, equipment, and industrial labeling. Its compact mass and squared rounding read as confident and no-nonsense, with a subtle retro signage flavor rather than a soft or friendly voice.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a tight horizontal footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms cohesive and highly recognizable. It prioritizes clarity and punch over delicacy, creating a consistent, industrialized rhythm across letters and numbers.
Numerals match the squarish, rounded-corner theme, staying wide-shouldered and highly legible; the 0 is a rounded rectangle, and figures like 2, 3, 5, and 9 use flat cuts and squared turns. In text, the dense counters and heavy weight create a strong texture that favors short bursts over long passages, especially at smaller sizes.
