A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense black shapes and crisp silhouette readability. Corners are generally softened rather than sharp, while terminals are flat and decisive; many letters use boxy apertures and squared counters that give the design a constructed, modular feel. Proportions lean compact and sturdy, with simplified joins and deliberate cut-ins in a few glyphs that add edge and prevent forms from feeling purely rounded.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as headlines, poster typography, brand marks, sports or fitness identities, and bold packaging statements. It also works well for short UI labels, badges, and signage where a compact, sturdy voice is needed, but is less appropriate for long-form reading at small sizes due to dense counters.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining a utilitarian, engineered character with a sporty display energy. Its rounded-square geometry reads contemporary and technical, projecting strength, reliability, and impact rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a modern, geometric construction—pairing rounded-square forms with compact proportions to stay legible and confident in attention-grabbing applications. Its consistent stroke weight and simplified shapes prioritize clarity, uniformity, and brandable personality.
The numerals and capitals share the same rounded-rectangular logic, creating a cohesive, sign-ready texture at large sizes. The sample text shows strong word shape and even color in headlines, while the tight interior spaces suggest it benefits from generous tracking when set large and tight-leading layouts are used.
