A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry and generous corner radii. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight internal counters that read as small rectangular cut-ins, giving many letters a punched or stencil-like feel without obvious breaks. The design emphasizes squat proportions and broad, flat terminals; curves are minimized and when present are heavily squared-off. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, but the texture stays consistent through repeated use of rounded corners and sharp interior notches.
This font is best suited to large sizes where its tight counters and chunky shapes can read clearly—headlines, posters, team or event graphics, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when strong presence is needed, but extended small-size text may feel dense due to compact apertures.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, retro sports graphics, and poster-era display typography. Its squared shapes and compact apertures create a forceful, no-nonsense voice that feels assertive and slightly nostalgic.
The design appears intended as an impact-forward display sans built from rounded-rect modules, prioritizing strong silhouette, high ink coverage, and a distinctive squared-yet-soft rhythm. Its consistent superelliptical construction suggests a deliberate aim for a cohesive, industrial-meets-retro aesthetic.
Uppercase forms appear especially solid and monolithic, while the lowercase maintains the same blocky construction with simplified bowls and short ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, producing a cohesive, signage-like set that favors impact over delicate detail.
