A heavy, compact sans with broad, squared proportions and prominently rounded corners that push the shapes toward rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and stable with minimal modulation, and counters are relatively tight, producing dense, high-ink silhouettes. Curves are smoothed into superellipse-like bowls (notably in C, O, Q, and 0), while joins and terminals stay blunt and vertical, giving the design a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Lowercase forms are tall and wide-set with simple constructions and short ascenders/descenders, supporting large, uniform word shapes.
Best used where size and presence matter: headlines, posters, signage, and bold branding systems. It also suits packaging and labels that need a compact, durable look, and works well for short bursts of copy or typographic lockups where a strong, unified texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and confident with a utilitarian, no-nonsense voice. Rounded corners soften the mass, adding approachability while keeping a strong, athletic presence suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with controlled geometry—combining squared structures with rounded corners for a robust yet approachable display voice. Its consistent, dense shapes suggest a focus on clarity at large sizes and on creating emphatic, block-like wordmarks.
Wide, flat-topped caps and squared interiors create strong rectangular textures in lines of text, especially in E/F/L/T and numerals. The numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, yielding clear, chunky figures designed for impact rather than delicate detail.
