A compact, heavy sans with squared-off curves built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are monoline and dense, with broad verticals and tight counters that give letters a sturdy, space-efficient footprint. Curved characters like C, G, O, and Q resolve into superelliptic arcs with softly rounded corners rather than true circles, while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt. The overall rhythm is firm and even, favoring blocky proportions and controlled apertures over airy openness.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a strong, compact voice is needed. It works well for packaging, labels, sports or fitness-themed branding, and wayfinding/industrial graphics where rounded-square forms and dense letterfit create an impactful, controlled texture.
The tone is assertive and functional, with an industrial, sporty feel. Its rounded-square forms suggest contemporary equipment graphics and wayfinding, projecting strength without feeling sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to merge geometric order with softened corners, creating a robust display sans that feels engineered and contemporary. By using squared curves and uniform stroke weight, it aims for consistent visual presence and high impact across caps, lowercase, and figures.
The numerals and uppercase share the same squared-round construction, producing a cohesive, signage-like texture. Diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) read as crisp and deliberate, while the lowercase keeps a pragmatic, no-nonsense character that prioritizes solidity and clarity at display sizes.
