A heavy, squared sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and crisp, flat terminals. Strokes are thick and uniform in feel, with compact counters and softened corners that keep the shapes from feeling harsh. Proportions skew tall and slightly condensed, with a high cap presence and narrow internal apertures, producing a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase is straightforward and functional, with single-storey forms where visible and consistent vertical stress; figures are similarly boxy with rounded corners for a cohesive, modular rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where impact and compactness matter: headlines, posters, athletic or event graphics, bold brand wordmarks, packaging callouts, and wayfinding/signage. It can work for short UI labels or navigation elements at larger sizes, especially when a sturdy, geometric voice is desired.
The overall tone is utilitarian and assertive, blending a contemporary tech/industrial flavor with a sports-headline punch. Rounded corners add approachability, but the tight counters and tall silhouettes keep it firm, controlled, and attention-forward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum legibility and presence in limited horizontal space by combining tall proportions with squared, rounded-rectangle forms. Its consistent geometry suggests an emphasis on repeatable shapes and a strong, modern rhythm that holds up in bold display applications.
Curves tend to resolve into squared bowls and rounded corners rather than true circles, giving letters like C, G, O, and Q a compact, engineered feel. Diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) read sturdy and slightly compressed, reinforcing the strong vertical rhythm. Numerals share the same squared geometry, supporting consistent use in scoreboards, pricing, and labeling.
