A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared counters. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt or softly rounded rather than tapered. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S resolve into squarish arcs, creating a superellipse rhythm that feels engineered and compact. Spacing reads fairly tight at display sizes, with wide, stable stems and simple, no-nonsense joins that keep silhouettes bold and legible.
Best suited to large-scale typography where maximum presence is needed: posters, bold headlines, sports and team branding, product packaging, and wayfinding or promotional signage. Its sturdy shapes and simplified geometry also work well for logos and short, punchy messaging.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, balancing toughness with friendliness from its rounded corners. It evokes athletic and industrial signage—confident, direct, and built for impact rather than delicacy. The squared curves give it a modern, machined character that feels energetic and loud without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver strong visual impact through dense weight, simplified construction, and rounded-rectangle curves. It aims for quick recognition and a durable, contemporary feel, prioritizing bold silhouettes and consistency across letters and numerals.
The uppercase forms are especially block-like, while the lowercase keeps similarly sturdy shapes and closed, compact counters. Numerals follow the same squared-curve logic, producing a cohesive, poster-oriented set that holds up well under heavy ink coverage.
