A heavy, blocky sans with squared-off superellipse construction and generously rounded corners. Strokes are thick and uniform with minimal modulation, producing dense, compact letterforms and a strong typographic color. Counters tend to be rectangular with softened corners, and curves are handled as rounded-rectangle arcs rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt, and diagonals (like in A, K, V, W, X, Y) are clean and steep, keeping the overall rhythm tight and engineered.
Best suited to large sizes where its dense weight and rounded-square details can show clearly—headlines, posters, branding marks, team or event graphics, and packaging. It can also work for UI labels or wayfinding-style statements when a tough, legible, high-impact voice is needed.
The face reads assertive and utilitarian, with a distinctly industrial, sport-signage energy. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise rugged, hard-working tone, evoking modern equipment, athletics, and tech interfaces.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, rounded-rectangle aesthetic—balancing toughness and approachability. It emphasizes solid structure, tight spacing, and simplified forms for clarity and presence in display settings.
Lowercase forms stay compact with short extenders and sturdy joins, maintaining a consistent, chunky texture in text. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-corner logic, giving data and headlines a cohesive, high-impact presence.
