A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and blunt terminals. Counters are tight and openings are controlled, producing dense, high-impact word shapes. Curves are broadly rounded rather than fully circular, while straight strokes remain clean and uniform, giving the design a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation from caps, with short ascenders/descenders and minimal interior space, and the numerals follow the same squared, rounded geometry for a consistent texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where maximum impact is needed. It works well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefits from a compact, space-efficient voice, as well as sports and event branding where sturdy, energetic letterforms help carry a message at a distance.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an athletic, workmanlike presence. Its rounded corners soften the mass slightly, keeping it friendly enough for consumer-facing headlines while still reading as tough and confident.
The design appears intended to deliver high visual punch in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep the weight feeling controlled rather than harsh. The consistent geometry across letters and figures suggests a focus on cohesive, repeatable shapes that hold up in bold display applications.
At larger sizes the design’s tight counters and compact proportions create a strong, continuous dark rhythm. In longer lines, the dense spacing and reduced interior space can make text feel packed, which suits display settings more than reading-oriented layouts.
