A heavy, geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms, with broad proportions and tight internal counters. Strokes stay largely uniform, while corners are consistently softened into squarish radii, giving bowls and terminals a chunky, machined feel. Apertures tend to be small and squared, and the overall rhythm is compact and dense, especially in lowercase where short extenders and stout joins emphasize mass. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-corner logic for a cohesive, signlike texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its dense, blocky texture can deliver maximum impact. It works well for posters, packaging, sports branding, and logo wordmarks that benefit from sturdy shapes and rounded-square friendliness. For longer passages, it will be most effective at larger sizes with generous spacing.
The face projects strength and impact with an industrial, sports-forward tone. Its rounded-square geometry feels retro-modern—confident and utilitarian rather than delicate—suggesting bold messaging, equipment, and high-energy branding.
The design appears intended to create a robust, highly graphic sans that reads as modern-industrial while staying approachable through softened corners. Its squared curves and compact counters prioritize visual punch and a strong silhouette, optimized for prominent display settings.
The lowercase shows a single-storey ‘a’ and ‘g’ with simplified, rectangular counters, and many forms favor squared bowls over circular ones. The ‘i’/‘j’ dots are round, providing a small contrast note against the otherwise squarish construction, while punctuation appears similarly weighty and compact for display use.
