A heavy, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong figure/ground contrast. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls (notably in O, C, and numerals), while joins and terminals stay blunt and squared-off, giving a compact, engineered rhythm. Spacing feels tight and efficient, and the overall texture reads as a continuous dark bar at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, banners, posters, and punchy editorial callouts. It works well for sports identities, event graphics, packaging fronts, and wayfinding where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. For longer passages, the dense counters and heavy color suggest using generous size and spacing.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, balancing friendliness from rounded corners with a tough, no-nonsense mass. It evokes athletic signage and industrial labeling—direct, loud, and designed to be noticed. The condensed width adds urgency and impact, especially in all-caps settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry to stay bold and contemporary while remaining approachable. Its consistent, modular forms emphasize clarity and brandability for display-oriented typography.
Uppercase forms are particularly monumental and rectangular, while lowercase remains simple and functional with single-storey a and g. The numerals match the same rounded-block logic, with robust shapes and small internal apertures that favor impact over delicacy. The design maintains consistent corner radii and stroke weight, reinforcing a cohesive, highly branded look.
