A compact, heavy display sans with a tall, condensed footprint and tight internal counters. Curves resolve into squarish, superellipse-like bowls, giving round letters a rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles. Strokes are thick and confident with mostly flat terminals; joins and corners are softened, creating a sturdy, molded look. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with relatively narrow apertures and a strong emphasis on vertical stems, producing an assertive texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, sports branding, and bold signage. The dense, compact shapes hold together well at large sizes where its squared curves and strong vertical rhythm can deliver maximum presence.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a sporty, headline-forward energy. Its rounded-rectangle curves add a subtle retro signage flavor, while the condensed massing keeps it feeling modern and forceful. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a condensed width while keeping forms friendly and controlled through rounded-rectangle curves. It prioritizes impact and compactness, creating a consistent, blocky texture that works well for attention-driven display typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially architectural, with broad, squared-off shoulders and compact bowls, while lowercase maintains the same heavy, blocklike logic for a cohesive system. Numerals are similarly weighty and compact, matching the typeface’s poster-centric color and density.
