A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls and softened corners throughout. Strokes stay uniform with minimal contrast, creating dense counters and a compact, high-impact silhouette. Curves are squared-off rather than fully circular, and terminals tend to be flat, giving the forms a machined, cut-from-solid feel. Spacing and proportions favor stability over delicacy, with wide, sturdy joins and clearly defined interior shapes in letters like B, P, and R.
Best suited to headlines and short copy where impact and legibility at large sizes are priorities, such as posters, banners, and bold editorial openers. It also fits logos, sports/athletic identities, packaging, and wayfinding or retail signage where a sturdy, friendly-industrial voice is desired. For longer paragraphs it will feel dense and loud, but it can work effectively for punchy subheads and callouts.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a sporty, industrial confidence. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly, approachable edge while still reading as tough and utilitarian. The result feels poster-ready and attention-grabbing, leaning toward retro signage and athletic branding cues.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a controlled, geometric rounding that stays readable and consistent across the alphabet. Its superelliptical curves and flat terminals suggest a deliberate blend of industrial sturdiness and approachable softness, optimized for display use and brand marks that need immediate presence.
The numerals and uppercase have a particularly strong, display-oriented presence, while the lowercase keeps the same blocky rhythm with simple, single-story forms (notably a and g). Round letters (O, Q, C) read more like rounded rectangles, reinforcing a consistent, engineered texture across lines of text.
