A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Counters are small and mostly rectangular, giving letters a compact, high-impact texture and strong ink-to-space ratio. The stroke treatment is largely uniform, with horizontal terminals tending to be flat and crisp, while joins and corners are consistently radiused for a superelliptical feel. Several forms incorporate deliberate cut-ins and notches (notably in S, 2, 3, and some lowercase), adding a subtly segmented, almost stencil-like rhythm without becoming an actual stencil. Figures are chunky and geometric, with squared bowls and tight apertures that keep the overall color dense and even.
Best suited to short, bold settings such as headlines, posters, sports and team branding, packaging, and high-impact signage. It also works well for wordmarks and badges where a compact, geometric presence is desired; in longer text, the tight counters and dense color will generally favor larger sizes and generous spacing.
The font reads as tough and assertive, combining a machine-made, industrial sturdiness with a sporty, display-forward energy. Its rounded corners temper the aggression, producing a friendly-tech tone that can feel both retro (arcade/utility) and contemporary (UI/branding) depending on context.
The design intention appears to be a maximum-impact geometric sans that balances squared, utilitarian structure with rounded-corner friendliness. The added notches and cut-ins introduce character and motion, differentiating it from purely modular grotesques while preserving a disciplined, system-like construction.
Uppercase proportions feel compact and engineered, with squared inner shapes in letters like O and D and a distinctive, boxy Q featuring an angular tail. The lowercase maintains the same geometric logic, with single-storey a and g and simplified, modular construction; the overall effect is highly consistent and logo-ready at larger sizes.
