A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters with softened corners, giving letters like O, D, and B a superellipse feel rather than true circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many apertures are tight, producing sturdy, compact interiors. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is dense and stable, with a strong emphasis on verticals and broad, simplified forms.
Best suited to large-scale applications where weight and shape can carry the message—headlines, posters, logos, labels, and packaging. It also fits sports and tech graphics, UI callouts, and signage where a compact, high-impact sans is desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a contemporary industrial edge. The rounded-square construction adds a friendly softness to an otherwise forceful, utilitarian voice, reading as sporty and tech-oriented rather than elegant or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a cohesive rounded-rectangle construction, balancing toughness with approachable corners. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
Lowercase forms keep the same squared, rounded-corner logic as the caps, creating a unified texture in paragraphs. Numerals are similarly blocky and highly legible at a glance, prioritizing impact over openness in small counters.
