A heavy, geometric sans with a squared-off skeleton softened by large radiused corners. Counters tend to be squarish and open, with consistent stroke thickness and crisp terminals that keep the shapes clean and stable. The overall rhythm is compact and steady, with wide, flat horizontals, straight-sided verticals, and diagonal forms that read as engineered rather than calligraphic. Numerals and capitals are built on the same rounded-rectangle logic, giving the set a uniform, modular feel.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and identity work where strong silhouettes need to hold up at a distance. It also fits sports and industrial-themed branding, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms.
The font projects strength and clarity, with a no-nonsense tone that feels contemporary and slightly industrial. Its rounded corners keep it approachable, but the blocky construction reads confident and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with disciplined geometry, using rounded corners and squarish counters to balance forcefulness with friendliness. Its consistent construction suggests a focus on clear, durable forms for display-oriented typography.
Round letters like O/Q and bowls in B/P/R lean toward squircle-like forms, reinforcing a consistent superellipse motif across the set. The lowercase includes sturdy, simplified shapes with minimal modulation, emphasizing legibility and visual impact at display sizes.
