A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and broad, uniform strokes. Corners are softened rather than sharply squared, producing thick, cushiony silhouettes with tight counters and minimal internal detail. Curves are more geometric than calligraphic, and joints stay blunt and sturdy, giving letters a strongly poster-like rhythm. Numerals and capitals read especially dense and stable, while lowercase retains the same chunky, simplified structure.
Best suited for headlines and large-scale typography in posters, branding, packaging, and signage where strong presence is required. It works well for logos and wordmarks that need a compact, high-impact silhouette, and for sports, retail, or product-led communications that favor bold, approachable geometry.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a confident, no-nonsense feel that leans toward retro display and utilitarian signage. Its rounded geometry keeps the impact friendly rather than aggressive, suggesting sporty and industrial cues at the same time.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean, geometric construction, balancing toughness with softened corners for broad, contemporary display use. It prioritizes impact and consistency over intricate detailing, aiming for fast recognition in short, bold text settings.
At smaller sizes the tight apertures and counters can begin to close up, so it benefits from generous sizing, tracking, or open layouts. The most convincing results come from short words, stacked lines, and bold typographic shapes where its mass and rounded geometry can read cleanly.
