A heavy, compact sans with squared, superelliptical contours and generously rounded corners. Strokes are thick and even, with large counters that stay open despite the weight, and a generally straight-sided construction in both uppercase and lowercase. Curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls rather than perfect circles, giving the face a structured, engineered rhythm. The lowercase shows a tall x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and terminals are mostly blunt with minimal modulation, creating a dense, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to display typography where high impact and quick legibility matter: headlines, posters, event graphics, sports or team-style branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for short UI labels or navigational signage when you want strong presence without decorative detail.
The overall tone is loud and confident, leaning toward utilitarian signage and athletic branding. Its rounded-square geometry reads contemporary and tough rather than friendly, projecting impact and straightforwardness in big headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with controlled geometry—combining rounded-square forms and open counters to stay readable while feeling forceful. It prioritizes a consistent, compact rhythm across letters and numbers for branding and large-format text.
The uppercase set feels particularly uniform and monolithic, while the lowercase retains the same boxy logic for bowls and shoulders, keeping a consistent silhouette across mixed-case settings. Numerals match the caps’ solidity and favor broad, stable shapes for quick recognition at display sizes.
