A heavy, geometric sans with squared silhouettes softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like bowls. Strokes are uniform and dense, with compact apertures and counters that stay fairly rectangular. Curves transition quickly into flats, creating a sturdy, machined rhythm; terminals are blunt and horizontal/vertical where possible. The lowercase is built with a tall x-height and simplified forms, while figures are wide-set and blocky, designed to read as solid shapes rather than delicate outlines.
Best suited to display use where mass and impact are desired: headlines, posters, sports and team branding, product packaging, and wayfinding or industrial-style signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when you want a bold, blocky presence, though the compact apertures suggest avoiding very small sizes for longer text.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, equipment-label energy. Its chunky geometry and tightened openings give it an engineered, no-nonsense voice that feels contemporary and slightly retro-digital at the same time.
The design appears intended to maximize visual strength and consistency through a rounded-rectangular construction system, prioritizing punchy silhouettes and a compact internal space. It aims for high-impact legibility and a cohesive, engineered look across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Round letters like O, C, G, and Q are constructed from rounded rectangles, producing a consistent squarish curvature across the set. Angled joins (notably in K, V, W, X, Y) are crisp and create strong diagonal punch, while letters like S and Z keep a stepped, slabby flow that reinforces the modular feel.
