A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off, superellipse-like forms with generously rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact counters and rectangular apertures that create a tight, high-impact color on the page. Curves resolve into flattened bowls and pill-shaped internal spaces, while diagonals (as in V/W/X/Y/Z) stay crisp and angular. The lowercase is sturdy and schematic, with single-storey a and g, short-armed r, and a squared, utilitarian rhythm that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing branding where a compact, blocky silhouette can do the work. It also fits sports or automotive-style identity systems, packaging, and large-format signage where its squared curves and dense texture remain legible at a distance.
The overall tone is strong and no-nonsense, combining a technical, engineered feel with a sporty, display-forward presence. Its rounded-rectangle geometry reads contemporary and machined rather than friendly or handwritten, projecting confidence and durability.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into an impactful display sans: maximizing presence, keeping forms highly consistent, and prioritizing a strong word shape over delicate detail.
Spacing and sidebearings appear intentionally tight, emphasizing mass and continuity in words. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect construction, keeping the set cohesive for headings and short bursts of text.
