A compact, heavy display sans with tall, condensed proportions and a monoline feel. Strokes terminate in rounded-rectangle ends, giving counters and bowls a softened superellipse geometry rather than true circles. The forms are built from sturdy verticals and broad shoulders with minimal modulation, producing strong color and a tight, rhythmic texture in text. Lowercase characters are simplified and robust, with single‑storey shapes where applicable and small, rounded apertures that stay open enough at large sizes.
Best suited to large-scale use where its dense weight and condensed width can deliver impact: headlines, posters, labels, and punchy brand marks. It also works well for sports or event graphics and short, bold UI callouts, but will feel heavy for extended body text.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a friendly, toy-like softness coming from the rounded corners and pill-shaped counters. It reads as retro-industrial and sporty—confident and attention-grabbing without feeling sharp or aggressive.
Designed to maximize visual impact in a narrow footprint, pairing strong vertical structure with rounded superellipse details for a softer, more approachable display voice. The consistent, blocky construction suggests an emphasis on legibility at headline sizes and on maintaining a cohesive, logo-friendly silhouette across letters and numerals.
Numerals and capitals are especially uniform and sign-like, reinforcing a stamped or stenciled-in-spirit presence (without actual breaks). The ampersand and punctuation match the same rounded-rectilinear construction, helping maintain consistency in headlines and short blocks of copy.
