A heavy, geometric sans with squared proportions softened by consistently rounded corners. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, while terminals end in flat, blunt cuts that keep the silhouette compact and sturdy. The overall rhythm is built from wide vertical strokes and short joins, producing a tightly packed, high-impact texture in text. Numerals and uppercase forms feel especially monolithic, with squared counters and inset openings that echo the superelliptical construction.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications where impact and clarity matter—headlines, wordmarks, team or event branding, posters, and packaging. It can also work for labels and UI accents at larger sizes, where the rounded-square details and compact spacing remain legible and distinctive.
The tone is bold and assertive with an unmistakably sporty, utilitarian feel. Its rounded-square construction reads as modern and engineered, while the chunky proportions and simplified shapes add a retro display flavor reminiscent of uniforms and equipment markings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean geometric system, using rounded-square construction to feel contemporary while staying rugged and practical. It prioritizes strong shapes and compact density for branding-forward display typography that holds up in bold, high-visibility settings.
Several letters exhibit squared internal cut-ins and inset apertures (notably in bowls and counters), which enhances a machined, sign-painted look while maintaining smooth outer rounding. The family’s visual identity is driven more by silhouette and corner treatment than by modulation, helping it remain consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
