A compact, heavy sans with tall lowercase proportions and tight interior counters. Letterforms are built from stout verticals and rounded-rectangle curves, giving bowls and joins a squarish-but-soft geometry. Strokes maintain an even thickness with minimal modulation, and terminals are generally blunt with subtly rounded corners. The overall rhythm is dense and forceful, with narrow widths and concentrated black mass that holds together strongly in headline settings.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and branding where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It performs especially well for sports and event graphics, bold editorial titling, and packaging or signage that benefits from dense, high-ink letterforms.
The tone is loud and confident, leaning toward utilitarian and athletic signage rather than delicate or literary use. Its softened corners keep it approachable while the dense weight reads as commanding and energetic. The result feels modern, punchy, and built for attention.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient display voice that combines hard-working signage proportions with softened, rounded-rectangle curves. It prioritizes immediate visibility and a unified, blocky texture across mixed-case text.
Curves tend to resolve into superelliptical shapes rather than perfect circles, and many glyphs show slightly squared bowls that reinforce a sturdy, engineered feel. Numerals match the same compact, block-forward construction and read well at large sizes.
