A heavy, block-like sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with small counters and generous interior rounding that keeps shapes from feeling sharp despite the mass. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with squared shoulders, while lowercase uses a tall x-height and compact apertures; the overall rhythm is tight and dense. Numerals follow the same chunky geometry, with simplified curves and squared terminals, maintaining a uniform, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where the dense color and rounded block shapes can dominate the page. It works well for posters, logo wordmarks, packaging labels, and bold brand systems—especially where a sturdy, approachable tone is needed. In longer passages it will feel heavy and compact, so it benefits from ample size and spacing.
The typeface reads loud and confident, with a friendly edge created by its rounded corners and superelliptical curves. It evokes a retro signage and sports/utility feel—strong, direct, and slightly playful—while still staying clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a simplified, geometric, rounded-rectangle language—prioritizing bold presence, consistency, and a friendly industrial character for display-driven typography.
The letterforms favor closed or near-closed shapes (notably in C/S and several lowercase forms), producing a solid, ink-heavy color and strong emphasis at display sizes. The Q shows a compact tail detail and the overall alphabet maintains a consistent, engineered geometry across straight and curved strokes.
