A heavy, compact sans with broad strokes and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: counters are open and simple, terminals are blunt, and joins are clean with minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is dense and stable, with generous interior space for the weight and clear, straightforward silhouettes across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display sizes where its mass and simplified geometry can carry impact—headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and wayfinding. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when strong emphasis is needed, though extended body text may feel visually heavy.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, but the rounded corners keep it approachable rather than harsh. It reads as modern-utilitarian with a hint of retro signage and sports branding, projecting strength and clarity at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a clean, contemporary construction, using rounded-rectangle curves to balance toughness with approachability. Its consistent, sturdy shapes prioritize immediate recognition and bold presence in graphic applications.
Capitals feel particularly solid and architectural, while the lowercase maintains a practical, workmanlike texture. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, favoring clear shapes and strong presence over delicacy.
