A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes are essentially uniform, with squared terminals softened by generous corner rounding, producing a superellipse feel in bowls and counters. Proportions are condensed with short extenders and sturdy verticals, giving letters a dense, poster-ready texture. Numerals and caps follow the same squared-round geometry, emphasizing clear, blocklike silhouettes over delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It will also work for short UI labels or navigation elements when a compact, high-contrast wordshape is desirable, but it’s most effective at display sizes where the rounded-square detailing is clearly visible.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a distinctly industrial and sporty attitude. Its rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the compact width and strong forms project confidence and impact. Overall it suggests modern signage and retro athletic branding more than editorial refinement.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectangular primitives, prioritizing robust silhouettes, compact fit, and consistent geometry. It aims to deliver a forceful, contemporary look with a softened edge, balancing toughness with approachability.
Counters tend to be compact and squarish, which increases darkness and visual punch, especially in long lines. The rhythm is highly consistent across the alphabet, favoring uniform mass and simple geometry; the lowercase reads sturdy and functional rather than conversational.
