A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout: bowls and counters read as softened squares, and curves are drawn with broad, consistent rounding rather than true circles. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, terminals are blunt, and corners are generously radiused, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. Uppercase forms are compact and wide-shouldered, while lowercase stays open and simple; counters in letters like a, e, o, and p remain relatively small but clean, supporting strong texture at display sizes. Numerals match the same superelliptical logic, with squared curves and stable, horizontal stress.
Best suited to display contexts where impact and immediacy matter: headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and short signage. It can work for brief emphatic lines of text, but the dense weight and tight internal counters are most comfortable at larger sizes.
The font conveys a strong, no-nonsense tone with a modern industrial edge. Its rounded corners soften the mass, giving it an approachable, retro-tech feel reminiscent of athletic branding and utilitarian signage.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a softened, geometric construction—combining the authority of a heavy grotesque with rounded, squared-off curves for a contemporary, brand-friendly feel.
The overall rhythm is dense and highly uniform, creating a solid typographic ‘block’ in paragraphs. The squarish curves and wide set emphasize horizontal momentum, and the heavy joins (e.g., in m, n, w) contribute to a sturdy, engineered impression.
