A heavy, block-like sans with squared counters and strongly rounded corners, built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight apertures and compact inner spaces that give letters a solid, stamped feel. Curves resolve into flattened arcs rather than true circles, and terminals are blunt with consistent radii. Uppercase forms are tall and rigid; lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey construction with short ascenders and descenders and a compact rhythm that stays consistent across text.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: posters, headlines, packaging, and bold brand marks. It performs well for short phrases, labels, and signage-style compositions where its compact, rounded-rect geometry can read clearly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and vintage signage. Its rounded corners soften the mass, but the closed shapes and compressed internal space keep it forceful and authoritative. In text, it reads as assertive and slightly nostalgic, with a sports- or poster-like energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean, geometric voice, using rounded corners to keep the forms friendly while retaining a strong industrial backbone. It prioritizes consistency and punch over airy readability, aiming for a distinctive, poster-ready texture in both caps and mixed case.
Several characters lean on rectangular counters (notably in bowls and rounded-rect forms), which increases uniformity but reduces openness at smaller sizes. Numerals match the same squared, softened geometry, reinforcing a cohesive, display-forward system.
