A heavy, squared sans with broadly proportioned letterforms and softened corners. Strokes read as largely monoline but with selective thinning at joins and curves, producing a subtle contrasted rhythm in counters and terminals. Curves are built from boxy, rounded-rectangle geometry (notably in C, G, O, S), while diagonals in A, K, V, W, X, and Y are sharp and sturdy. Apertures are relatively tight and counters are squarish, with a compact, engineered feel; numerals follow the same rectangular logic with flat, open forms and strong horizontal emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and quick recognition are priorities. It also fits sports graphics, apparel marks, packaging, signage, and product/tech labeling where a compact, engineered texture reads confidently at display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, with a utilitarian, equipment-label energy. Its wide stance and squared curves suggest a contemporary sports/industrial voice, leaning more technical than friendly despite the rounded corners.
The font appears intended to deliver a bold, modern display voice built from squared geometry with rounded corners, balancing rugged impact with controlled, technical refinement. The restrained contrast and tight apertures reinforce a punchy, industrial legibility in short lines and titles.
The design maintains consistent corner radii and a strong horizontal/vertical skeleton, giving text a stable, block-like texture. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and minimal modulation, supporting bold headline settings and short bursts of copy.
