A heavy, compact sans with a squared, superelliptical construction: bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles rather than pure circles. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with crisp terminals and subtly softened corners that keep the texture from feeling brittle. The proportions are sturdy and space-efficient, with tight apertures and dense interior counters; curves on letters like C, G, and S stay controlled and boxy, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) feel chunky and stable. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, producing a uniform, high-mass rhythm across lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and large-scale typography where its mass and squared-round shapes can read clearly. It can work well in sports and fitness branding, bold packaging systems, and signage that benefits from an assertive, compact voice. For longer passages, it will generally perform better with generous size and spacing due to its dense texture.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence that recalls athletic branding and industrial labeling. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a friendly, contemporary edge, balancing toughness with approachability. In headlines it reads as bold, direct, and energetic, leaning slightly retro without feeling decorative.
The letterforms suggest an intention to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using superelliptical geometry to keep the design cohesive and contemporary. The consistent heaviness and controlled curves point to a display-focused workhorse meant to feel strong, modern, and highly legible at large sizes.
The design’s dense counters and tight apertures create strong color on the page, which can feel compressed at small sizes but striking at display scales. The lowercase maintains a robust, block-like silhouette, and the punctuation shown (e.g., period, apostrophe) appears minimal and sturdy to match the weight.
