A heavy, block-forward sans with squarish, superellipse-inspired outlines and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing compact counters and strong ink traps where joins tighten, especially in letters like E, F, and S. Curved characters (C, G, O, Q) read as rounded rectangles rather than circles, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are cut with crisp, flat terminals that keep the texture sturdy. The lowercase is built like a scaled companion to the caps, with a tall x-height and simple, schematic forms (single-storey a and g), and numerals follow the same squared, softened geometry for a cohesive set.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports or team-style branding. It also works well on packaging and labels where bold, compact letterforms need to hold up against busy backgrounds or strong color blocks.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a rugged, engineered feel that suggests strength and utility. Rounded corners soften the impact just enough to feel approachable, but the tight counters and chunky silhouettes keep it loud, punchy, and attention-driven.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a clean, geometric construction—pairing squared, rounded-rectangle curves with solid terminals for a tough, modern display voice.
Spacing and proportions create an energetic, slightly uneven rhythm typical of display faces, where each glyph’s footprint is optimized for impact rather than delicate modulation. The period and punctuation appear sturdy and high-contrast in size against the letterforms, helping short statements land with clear stops.
