A heavy, compact sans with a squared-off construction softened by consistent chamfered and rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight apertures and small, geometric counters that often read as rounded rectangles. Curves are largely implied through clipped corners rather than continuous arcs, giving bowls and diagonals an octagonal rhythm. The lowercase follows the same modular logic as the caps, and figures are blocky and stable with simplified internal shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, logos, sports and team graphics, and bold packaging. It can work for large-size display copy where its compact counters and dark color don’t compromise readability.
The overall tone feels tough and utilitarian, like lettering cut from stencil-like blocks, while the softened corners keep it friendly and game-like. It carries a distinctly retro arcade and athletic signage energy—confident, loud, and built for impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with a modular, rounded-rectangle construction that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a geometric, manufactured look that evokes retro display lettering.
In text settings the dense shapes and tight openings create a dark, punchy texture; spacing and counters appear intentionally compact to maintain a solid silhouette. Diagonals (e.g., in K, V, W, X, Y) keep the same clipped-corner geometry, reinforcing a consistent, engineered feel across the character set.
