A heavy, compact sans with squarish, superelliptical forms and broadly rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that keep counters small but clear at display sizes. The curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry rather than perfect circles, giving letters a firm, engineered feel; terminals are mostly blunt with occasional angled cuts on diagonals. Spacing reads even and solid, producing a strong, poster-like color in text lines.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and short statements where its dense shapes and rounded-rect geometry can read clearly. It also fits branding applications such as logos, packaging, labels, and sports or industrial-themed identities that benefit from a strong, compact voice. For longer text, it will perform most comfortably at larger sizes where its tight apertures and heavy color remain legible.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, industrial edge. Its rounded block construction adds a friendly softness to an otherwise tough, compressed voice, making it feel simultaneously sporty and retro-modern. The strong silhouette and steady rhythm convey confidence and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a clean, modern sans structure, using rounded-rectangle curves to create a distinctive, sturdy silhouette. It prioritizes strength and uniformity over delicacy, aiming for clear recognition in display and branding contexts.
Lowercase forms maintain the same squared-round logic as the capitals, with simple, robust shapes and minimal delicate detailing. Numerals match the weight and geometry closely, leaning toward sturdy, sign-friendly forms with generous outer curves and compact inner counters.
