A heavy, compact sans with a rounded-rectangle construction that gives curves a squarish, superelliptical feel. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong, dark typographic color. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, while corners are softened, creating a blocky silhouette with controlled rounding. The forms are tightly proportioned with a tall lowercase presence and short ascenders/descenders, and the overall rhythm feels sturdy and condensed in texture even though widths vary by character.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and brand marks where maximum impact and clear shapes are needed at large sizes. It can work well on packaging and labels, as well as sports or event graphics, where the dense, blocky forms create a confident, high-visibility voice. For extended reading, it will be most comfortable in short bursts such as titles, callouts, and display copy.
The tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, with a pragmatic, industrial confidence. Its rounded corners temper the aggression, adding a retro signage and athletic headline vibe rather than a sharp, technical one. Overall it reads as bold, blunt, and energetic—built to be seen quickly and from a distance.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography with a rounded-rectangular geometry that stays friendly while remaining bold and commanding. By keeping contrast low and counters tight, it emphasizes solidity and immediacy, aiming for recognizable shapes and strong presence in graphic applications.
The sample text shows strong line-by-line presence and consistent density, with punctuation and numerals matching the same chunky, squared-off construction. Round letters like O/C and bowls in B/P appear more squarish than circular, reinforcing the superellipse geometry and giving the font a distinctive stamped or molded look.
