A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superelliptical feel. Corners are broadly radiused and terminals are clean and blunt, producing a solid, engineered silhouette. Curves are simplified and uniform, with consistent stroke mass and minimal modulation, while apertures are fairly tight and the interior shapes stay rectangular rather than circular. Spacing and proportions read sturdy and compact, with a strong horizontal presence and large, sturdy numerals that match the caps in weight and tone.
Best suited for display applications such as headlines, logos, posters, wayfinding, and packaging where its dense, rounded-square forms can read as a deliberate stylistic choice. It performs particularly well in short statements, labels, and tech or sports-themed graphics that benefit from bold, engineered letterforms.
The overall tone feels modern and mechanical, with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its squared rounding adds a friendly softness to an otherwise industrial, utilitarian build, creating a sporty, tech-forward vibe. The forms also hint at retro signage and scoreboard aesthetics, balancing contemporary geometry with a slightly nostalgic edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangular motif, creating a recognizable, system-like look. It emphasizes solidity and clarity over delicacy, aiming for strong visibility and a contemporary industrial character in display typography.
The design’s distinctive identity comes from its consistent rounded-square geometry across letters and figures, which creates strong patterning in headings and short lines. Because counters are relatively tight and shapes are dense, it reads most clearly when given ample size and breathing room rather than in small, text-heavy settings.
