A compact, heavy sans with squared curves and generously rounded corners, giving many forms a superellipse/rounded-rectangle silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are relatively tight, producing a dense, dark texture. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared-off, while bowls and shoulders stay boxy rather than purely circular. The lowercase is built for presence, with broad, sturdy stems and simplified joins; the numerals match the same compact, block-like construction.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact and compactness matter—posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics. It can also work for bold UI labels or signage-style applications when a dense, authoritative voice is desired, though its heavy texture favors larger sizes over long reading.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, poster-ready energy. Its rounded-square geometry feels modern-industrial while also nodding to retro athletic and signage styles. The dense weight and condensed footprint communicate urgency and strength more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint while keeping shapes friendly through rounded-square geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, uniform stroke behavior, and compact rhythm for emphatic display typography.
Rounded interior corners and squarish bowls create a distinctive, uniform rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. The punctuation and figures shown follow the same sturdy construction, helping the font maintain an even, high-impact color in lines of text. Spacing appears designed to keep words compact and tightly set for maximum punch.
