A heavy, block-constructed sans with squarish rounds built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes are uniform and thick, with corners consistently softened, producing a superelliptical feel across curved letters. Counters tend to be compact and often rectangular, and many joins feel engineered and planar rather than calligraphic. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, with occasional angled cuts that add a subtle stencil-like, mechanical rhythm in letters such as K, R, and S.
This font performs best in large sizes where its rounded-square construction and compact counters read crisply—headlines, posters, and punchy campaign lines. It also suits logo work and brand marks that want an engineered, athletic, or tech-forward voice, as well as packaging or labels that benefit from bold, high-impact typography.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, reading as modern and technical with a sporty, scoreboard-like punch. Its rounded-square construction gives a retro-futuristic edge—confident and robust rather than friendly or delicate. The density and tight interiors add urgency and impact, making it feel suited to bold statements and high-contrast messaging.
The design appears intended to translate rounded-rectangle geometry into a sturdy, high-impact sans that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures. By keeping stroke weight consistent and counters tight, it prioritizes presence and graphic clarity over delicate detail, aiming for a modern industrial and display-oriented personality.
The uppercase set feels especially commanding, with wide, stable silhouettes and strongly standardized rounding. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, staying chunky and highly graphic. In text, the consistent heaviness and compact counters emphasize display use; spacing looks designed to hold together in large headlines without looking brittle.
