A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly radiused corners throughout. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with tight interior counters and squared-off terminals that emphasize a sturdy, modular silhouette. Curves are rendered as squarish bowls and superelliptical arcs, producing wide, stable letterforms and a strong horizontal footprint. The rhythm is dense and punchy, with simplified joins and minimal detailing that keeps shapes clean at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where weight and geometry can do the work: headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and bold UI moments such as section headers or splash screens. It can also perform well for short callouts on packaging or signage where a rugged, high-contrast silhouette is needed against busy backgrounds.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, reading as sporty and tech-adjacent with a slight retro arcade or industrial signage feel. Its chunky geometry and compressed apertures project confidence and impact rather than delicacy or warmth.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact through simplified, superelliptical construction—combining a modern, engineered look with rounded corners for a controlled, approachable edge. The emphasis appears to be on strong presence, fast recognition, and consistent geometric styling across letters and numbers.
The numerals and capitals are especially compact and geometric, with rounded-square forms that preserve legibility while staying highly stylized. The lowercase keeps a similarly constructed, modular feel, reinforcing a consistent, engineered look across the set.
