A heavy, squared-round sans with superelliptical curves and broad, flat terminals. The forms are built from rounded rectangles, producing boxy bowls and counters with smooth corner radii. Internal spaces are small and often vertically oriented, and several joins show notched, ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen the rhythm and help separate dense strokes. Uppercase and lowercase share a uniform, engineered construction with simple, geometric shapes and minimal modulation.
Best suited to large-scale applications where weight and silhouette do the work: posters, headlines, sports and team branding, packaging, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also function as a punchy UI or labeling face in short bursts, but the tight counters and dense joins make it less comfortable for long passages at small sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, mixing a retro display flavor with a contemporary, industrial toughness. Its rounded corners keep the voice friendly enough for branded headlines, while the dense black shapes and notched joins add a technical, athletic edge.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact through chunky, rounded-rectangle geometry and consistent, engineered proportions, while using notched joins to keep dense shapes from visually clogging. It prioritizes strong word-shape and a distinctive industrial personality for display-led typography.
The numerals and key letterforms favor rectangular silhouettes (notably in bowls like O/Q and the two-storey construction in forms such as a), giving text a strong, consistent texture. The lowercase appears built for impact rather than subtlety, with tight apertures and pronounced mass that can close up at smaller sizes.
