A heavy, geometric sans with squarish rounds built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves. Corners are broadly radiused and bowls tend toward rectangular forms, producing a tight, modular rhythm. Strokes are mostly uniform with clean, abrupt terminals; counters are compact and often rectangular, giving letters a dense, punchy silhouette. The lowercase is simple and utilitarian, with single-story forms (notably the “a”) and a short-shouldered “r,” while numerals echo the same boxy, rounded construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to display use where weight and presence matter—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. Its compact counters and blocky geometry also make it effective for short UI labels, badges, and product or sports-style graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels modern and industrial with a friendly edge—bold enough for impact, but softened by rounded corners and smooth curvature. It conveys a sporty, tech-forward confidence that reads as contemporary and functional rather than formal.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact with a clean, geometric system: rounded-square forms for approachability, dense counters for strength, and consistent construction for a contemporary, tech-leaning voice.
The design emphasizes strong horizontals and verticals, with diagonals kept crisp and straight, reinforcing a constructed, sign-like feel. Inner shapes stay consistent across letters, helping the font maintain a unified texture in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
