A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) curves and broadly squared counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners are softened rather than sharp, giving the forms a machined, molded feel. Apertures are generally tight, bowls are boxy, and joins stay sturdy and straight, producing strong, compact silhouettes. The lowercase shows single-storey forms and short ascenders/descenders, while figures are chunky and geometric with simple, stable construction.
This font suits high-impact headlines, posters, and short promotional copy where maximum presence is desired. It also fits sports and team-style branding, bold packaging callouts, event graphics, and logo wordmarks that benefit from sturdy, rounded-rect geometry.
The overall tone is loud and confident, leaning toward utilitarian display typography with a sporty, poster-ready presence. Its rounded squareness adds a friendly, arcade/retro flavor while keeping a tough, industrial backbone.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-ink display voice built from superelliptical primitives—prioritizing bold signage clarity and a contemporary-industrial feel with a slight retro edge.
The dense weight and tight internal space make it most effective at larger sizes, where the rounded corners and squared counters read clearly. In text settings, the dark color and compact apertures can create a strong “wall of type” effect, especially on light backgrounds.
