A heavy, rounded-rectangular sans with squared curves and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with broad shoulders and largely closed apertures that create a compact, block-like rhythm. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) are built from superellipse-style outlines, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) remain crisp and stable rather than calligraphic. Terminals are generally flat and squared-off, counters are small and sturdy, and the overall silhouette reads as engineered and highly consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, rounded-industrial voice is desired. It works well for sports and esports identity, product packaging, UI labels, and wayfinding-style graphics where strong shapes and consistent geometry help maintain legibility and impact. Short blocks of text, callouts, and titling benefit most from its dense rhythm.
The tone is confident and utilitarian, with a contemporary, tech-forward feel. Rounded corners keep it approachable, while the dense proportions and tight openings add a tough, no-nonsense character reminiscent of sportswear and industrial labeling. It projects impact and clarity more than elegance, making it feel modern, practical, and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a clean geometric construction, combining squared curves and rounded corners for a modern, manufactured look. Its tight apertures and robust shapes suggest a focus on durability, clarity at large sizes, and a distinctive “tech/sport” flavor without decorative details.
The sample text shows strong presence at display sizes, where the rounded-square construction is especially clear. At tighter settings the smaller counters and narrowed apertures become a prominent part of the voice, giving words a compact texture and slightly “packed” color. Numerals match the letterforms closely, using the same squared rounding and solid, signage-like structure.
