A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Counters are mostly squarish and tightly enclosed, with occasional slit-like apertures that give the shapes a cut-out feel. Curves resolve into superellipse-style bowls, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) keep a crisp, geometric bite. Spacing is sturdy and economical, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the tall lowercase body, producing dense, sign-like word shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports and esports branding, labels, and bold packaging. It can also work for UI badges, scoreboards, and display typography where dense, geometric word shapes and strong presence are desirable.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, reading as industrial and performance-driven with a subtle retro arcade/scoreboard flavor. Its rounded corners keep it friendly enough for playful applications, but the compact counters and blocky silhouettes preserve a tough, mechanical voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a cohesive rounded-rectangle system, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent modular forms. It aims for immediate recognition at display sizes while keeping a contemporary, engineered feel.
Round letters (O, Q, o) appear more like rounded squares than true circles, and the numerals follow the same modular geometry, maintaining strong consistency across letters and figures. The lowercase includes single-story forms (a, g) and the general construction favors straight terminals and squared joins over calligraphic nuance.
