A heavy, compact sans with squared-off construction and generously rounded corners. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, while terminals are blunt and clean. The stroke weight is consistently dense with minimal modulation, producing a solid, poster-like color in text. Many joins and inner corners are softened, and several letters show slightly squared apertures and notches that add a subtly engineered, cut-out feel without becoming decorative.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and wayfinding or labeling where bold presence is required. It can also work for logos and brand wordmarks that benefit from rounded-square geometry and a robust, engineered feel.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a sporty, industrial confidence. Its blocky rhythm and rounded-rectangle geometry evoke contemporary branding, equipment labeling, and bold interface typography rather than literary or delicate settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and clarity through simplified, rounded-rectilinear forms and consistently heavy strokes. Its geometry suggests a focus on contemporary display use—creating a strong silhouette, stable rhythm, and a distinctive squared-round personality.
In extended sample text, the font maintains strong word shapes and a steady horizontal cadence, though its tight interior spaces and dense weight make it best when given ample size or spacing. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, reading as sturdy and sign-like.
