A heavy, geometric sans built from squared counters and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes stay uniform with crisp terminals, and corners are consistently softened, giving the letters a machined, superelliptical feel rather than true circular rounds. Uppercase forms are compact and boxy with generous interior counters, while the lowercase keeps a tall, sturdy stance with simple, utilitarian constructions. Overall spacing reads even and controlled, supporting dense settings and headline use.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where impact and clarity matter—such as sports identities, esports/tech branding, posters, packaging, and bold signage. Its compact, squared forms also make it effective for short UI labels or navigation elements when a strong, industrial voice is desired.
The tone is tough and purposeful, with a contemporary industrial and athletic flavor. Rounded corners soften the mass, keeping it friendly enough for modern UI or branding while still feeling bold, assertive, and engineered.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with clean geometry—merging squared, engineered letterforms with softened corners for a modern, approachable finish. It prioritizes immediacy and robustness over delicacy, aiming for confident readability in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
Several glyphs emphasize squarish bowls and apertures (notably in forms like C, G, O, and Q), and diagonals in letters like A, K, V, W, X, and Y feel structural and stable. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-corner logic, producing strong, sign-like figures that stay legible at a glance.
