A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing strong, dark typographic color with minimal modulation. Counters are relatively small and squarish, and curves resolve into flattened terminals that emphasize a blocky, engineered rhythm. The lowercase follows the same chunky geometry, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and simple, sturdy joins, keeping shapes consistent and highly graphic at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, heavy silhouette helps maximize presence. It also fits packaging and label work, as well as sports or event graphics that benefit from a bold, sturdy voice.
The overall tone is loud, assertive, and utilitarian, with a friendly edge from the rounded corners. It suggests sports branding, bold signage, and retro-meets-modern headline work—confident rather than delicate, and more about impact than nuance.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual weight in a compact footprint while keeping forms approachable through rounded superellipse-like geometry. It prioritizes clarity and consistency of silhouette for display use, favoring strong rhythm and simple construction over fine detail.
Spacing appears tight and the internal counters are compact, so the face gains presence quickly as sizes increase. The numerals and capitals read particularly strong and poster-like, while long passages set in the style sample feel intentionally dense and attention-grabbing rather than text-oriented.
