A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniform and dense, with counters that stay open via squared apertures and small, rectangular interior spaces. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with short joins, minimal modulation, and a slightly engineered feel created by straight segments meeting smooth radii. Curves (O, C, G, S) read as squarish superellipses rather than true circles, and terminals are consistently blunt and controlled.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact and uniform texture matter—posters, sports or team branding, product packaging, and bold wayfinding/signage. It can work for subheads and UI labels when set larger and spaced slightly to preserve clarity in the compact counters.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, projecting an industrial, sporty confidence. Its rounded geometry keeps it friendly enough for contemporary branding, while the compact proportions and blocky silhouettes evoke retro signage and scoreboard-style typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact footprint, using superelliptical shapes and blunt terminals for a controlled, engineered look. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent geometry to stay legible and distinctive in display settings.
Letterforms favor simple, sturdy construction with limited flourish; diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and strongly anchored, and punctuation/figures match the same squared, softened logic. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight will benefit from generous tracking and strong color contrast.
