A heavy, compact sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with broad strokes, tight apertures, and consistently softened corners. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving round letters a superelliptical feel while keeping terminals blunt and horizontal/vertical. Proportions skew tall with short extenders, and overall spacing reads dense, producing a strong, poster-like texture. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with simplified, sturdy forms and minimal modulation.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and branding that needs a compact, high-impact voice. It also works well for sports or industrial-themed identities, labels, and packaging where bold shapes and quick recognition matter more than airy readability.
The tone is tough and utilitarian with a sporty, retro-industrial edge. Its rounded-square construction feels engineered and dependable rather than friendly, projecting impact and authority in display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited space by combining very heavy strokes with rounded-rectilinear construction. It prioritizes uniform, engineered shapes and strong silhouettes to create a distinctive, punchy display texture.
At text sizes the dense rhythm and narrow openings emphasize mass and silhouette over interior detail, while at larger sizes the consistent corner rounding and squared bowls become a distinctive signature. The design maintains a disciplined, geometric consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
