A heavy, blocky sans with squared curves and generously rounded corners that push many shapes toward rounded-rectangle forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color. Counters are compact and often rectangular, while joins and terminals stay blunt and clean, giving letters a solid, engineered feel. Overall spacing reads slightly tight at display sizes, reinforcing a compact, poster-ready rhythm.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where maximum presence is needed—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for sports or fitness identities and punchy UI elements like badges, buttons, and navigation labels where a compact, high-contrast-in-size silhouette helps scanning.
The tone is assertive and high-impact, with a contemporary, sporty edge. Its softened corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, approachable character while maintaining a strong, industrial confidence.
The design appears intended to deliver strong readability and a contemporary, geometric personality through thick strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. It prioritizes impact and consistency across letters and numerals, aiming for a robust display voice that still feels approachable.
The uppercase has a particularly sturdy silhouette, with broad verticals and simplified interior shapes. Numerals match the same squared-round construction, making them feel cohesive and sign-like in headings and large UI labels.
