A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softly radiused corners throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, producing a superellipse look in letters like O, C, D, and a, while verticals and horizontals stay straight and sturdy. Terminals are blunt, apertures tend to be tight, and counters are compact, giving the design a dense, punchy texture in text. The overall rhythm is uniform and engineered, with simplified joins and a strong, poster-oriented silhouette.
Best suited to display typography where weight and shape can do the work: headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms. For longer passages, it will perform more comfortably at larger sizes and with generous spacing to offset the tight counters.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, industrial flavor that reads as sporty and slightly retro. Its tight interiors and squared rounding suggest toughness and efficiency rather than friendliness, making it feel assertive and attention-grabbing. In all-caps it channels signage and team-style lettering, while mixed case keeps the same compact, muscular voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a controlled, geometric voice. By basing round forms on rounded rectangles and keeping details simplified, it aims for strong recognition, easy reproduction, and a cohesive “stamped” solidity across letters and numbers.
The uppercase set is particularly impactful, with broad, stable shapes and minimal nuance, which helps it hold together at distance. Numerals echo the same rounded-rectangle construction, staying chunky and high-contrast against a light background. At smaller sizes the closed apertures and tight counters may reduce clarity, but at display sizes the uniform mass and consistent rounding become a defining strength.
