A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and generously softened corners. Strokes stay uniform with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color and strong silhouette at display sizes. Counters are compact and often rectangular, and terminals end bluntly with clean, squared edges. The rhythm is tight and sturdy, with slightly condensed-feeling interiors and clear, simple geometry that keeps forms highly legible despite the weight.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where its dense weight and rounded-square forms can read crisply: posters, packaging callouts, signage, and branding marks. It also fits sports and team-style graphics, UI title treatments, and anywhere a compact, impact-forward voice is needed.
The overall tone feels bold and punchy, with a retro-industrial confidence. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly, game-like warmth to what is otherwise a tough, no-nonsense presence, making it read as both utilitarian and energetic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, consistent geometry—using rounded-rectangle forms to balance toughness with approachability. It prioritizes bold readability and a distinctive, modular silhouette for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round characters (like O/0 and C/G) lean toward squarish bowls, reinforcing a superellipse backbone across the set. Numerals share the same chunky, squared counters, and the lowercase maintains a robust, compact texture that holds together well in headlines.
