A heavy, block-oriented sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Counters tend to be small and squarish, with short apertures and generally closed forms that produce strong ink mass. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls (notably in O, C, G, and e), while diagonals in A, K, V/W/X, and y are broad and steady. Terminals are flat and blunt, joins are tight, and the overall rhythm reads compact and dense, with minimal interior whitespace and a consistent, uniform stroke presence.
Best suited for large-scale typography where impact and clear silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also fits sports and team-adjacent applications, as well as promotional graphics where dense, sturdy letterforms help the message stay prominent.
The tone is forceful and self-assured, with a bold, utilitarian attitude. Its rounded geometry keeps it from feeling harsh, lending a friendly toughness that reads sporty and slightly retro, like classic athletic or equipment branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a geometric, rounded-rectangle voice—prioritizing strong shapes, compact counters, and consistent weight for high-impact display setting.
Uppercase shapes are particularly squared and monolithic, while lowercase remains similarly chunky with simplified details (for example, the single-storey a and g and a compact, closed e). Numerals follow the same squared, heavy logic, with strong silhouettes designed to hold up at distance.
