A compact, heavy sans with squarish, superellipse-based construction and generously rounded corners. Strokes maintain an even, low-contrast thickness, producing dense silhouettes and strong, uniform color in text. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in O, D, P, and the numerals), while joints are simplified and sturdy; diagonals in forms like A, K, V, W, X, and Y are broad and blunt. The lowercase is built with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders and descenders, and generally closed apertures, reinforcing a tight, blocky rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, logos, and sports or event graphics where its dense weight and rounded-square forms can read clearly. It can also work for signage and labels at moderate-to-large sizes where the compact rhythm supports strong legibility and presence.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a confident, poster-like presence. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly, modern touch while still reading as tough and functional, recalling industrial labeling and athletic branding.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with simplified, geometric letterforms that maintain a consistent, sturdy texture. Its softened corners and rounded-rectangle skeleton suggest an intention to balance toughness with approachability for contemporary display typography.
The design relies on wide, flat terminals and softened corners rather than curves with calligraphic modulation, giving it a distinctly engineered feel. Narrow internal openings in letters such as e and s can make the texture feel packed at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive rounded-rectangle counters and chunky diagonals.
