A heavy, compact sans with squared-off geometry softened by generous corner rounding. Curves and counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes, creating a uniform, superelliptical rhythm across O/C/G/Q and the bowls of B/P/R. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with short apertures and robust joins that keep forms tight and punchy; diagonals (A, K, V, W, X, Y, Z) are broad and stable rather than sharp. Lowercase follows a single-storey structure where applicable, with simple terminals, a sturdy shoulder on n/m, and a tall, rectangular i/j dot that reinforces the squared motif. Numerals are equally blocky and well-contained, with especially solid 0/8/9 shapes and straightforward, sign-like construction.
Best suited to headlines, display typography, and short bursts of text where weight and presence are desired. It performs well for branding systems, packaging, wayfinding, and promotional graphics where a compact, high-impact sans helps messages land quickly.
The overall tone is bold and assertive but not aggressive, balancing heft with approachable rounding. It reads as practical and contemporary, with a utilitarian, signage-forward clarity that also feels at home in sports and tech branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual strength with clean, rounded-rect geometry—pairing a contemporary, industrial feel with friendly corners for broad commercial versatility.
The typeface favors closed forms and compact internal space, which boosts impact at large sizes but can make small-size text feel dense. The consistent rounding and blunt terminals create a cohesive texture in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
