A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes stay uniform, while curves resolve into squarish bowls and apertures, giving letters a sturdy, machined feel. Uppercase forms are compact and geometric; lowercase follows with similarly squared curves and short, robust joins. Numerals echo the same superelliptical logic, with prominent, rounded counters and strong horizontal cuts that keep figures stable and readable at display sizes.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and branding where impact and quick recognition are priorities. It works well for sports and fitness identities, product packaging, tech or industrial-themed graphics, and label-style typography where compact, high-ink forms can carry the design. In longer text blocks, it will be most effective for short, emphatic passages rather than continuous reading.
The overall tone is confident and punchy, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its rounded squareness reads modern and technical while still nodding to retro signage and arcade-era display lettering. The density and softened corners make it feel tough but approachable rather than sharp or severe.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean, geometric system based on rounded rectangles. Its intent is to provide a distinctive display voice—modern, sturdy, and sign-like—while keeping shapes simple and highly repeatable across the alphabet and numerals.
The design emphasizes closed, sturdy shapes and minimal interior detail, creating strong silhouettes and consistent rhythm across lines. Corners and terminals appear deliberately clipped or rounded, which helps maintain a cohesive, engineered texture in headlines and short phrases.
