A heavy, squared sans with generously rounded corners and superellipse-like curves that keep bowls and counters smooth while maintaining a blocky footprint. Letters are built from broad strokes with mostly flat terminals and minimal modulation, producing dense, dark silhouettes and strong, even color in text. Curved characters like C, G, O, S, and Q read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y) are straight and robust. The lowercase follows the same squared construction, with single-story a and g, a compact e, and short, sturdy joins that emphasize a geometric, engineered rhythm. Numerals are similarly chunky and rectangular, designed for high visibility and consistent texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, logo work, and bold branding where strong silhouettes and compact spacing create immediate impact. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from sturdy forms and clear, high-contrast shapes at display sizes.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, projecting a confident, no-nonsense voice with a contemporary tech and sports flavor. The rounded-rectangle geometry adds a friendly smoothness to an otherwise hard-edged, industrial presence, giving it a modern retro-digital feel.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that merges geometric, rounded-rectangle construction with sturdy, industrial proportions. Its goal is to deliver loud, confident typography with a consistent, system-like feel across letters and numbers.
Counters are relatively small for the overall weight, which boosts impact but can tighten readability at smaller sizes. The design’s consistent corner rounding and squared curvature create a cohesive system across caps, lowercase, and figures, making it especially effective in short bursts where shape recognition is immediate.
