A compact, heavy sans with squared-off, rounded-corner construction and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, producing a blocky rhythm with softened edges rather than sharp geometry. Terminals are predominantly flat, apertures are relatively tight, and spacing is built for dense, impactful setting. Numerals and capitals share a consistent, sturdy silhouette, while the lowercase keeps simple, utilitarian forms with short extenders.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where maximum presence is needed, such as posters, signage, and bold branding systems. It also works well on packaging and labels where a compact footprint and strong silhouette help maintain legibility at a glance.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an athletic, industrial confidence. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a friendly, slightly retro softness that keeps the weight from feeling harsh, making it feel both tough and approachable.
Likely drawn to deliver high-impact display performance using a rounded-rectilinear skeleton that feels modern, durable, and space-efficient. The design prioritizes uniform weight, compact proportions, and consistent, engineered curves for strong visual cohesion across letters and numerals.
Round characters like C, G, O, and S maintain a squarish curvature that reads as engineered and modular. The dot on i/j is compact and the punctuation retains the same sturdy, blunt detailing, supporting consistent color in display lines.
