A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with compact counters, producing strong black areas and a sturdy, monolithic texture in text. Curves are mostly squarish and geometric rather than circular, with frequent notch-like cut-ins and squared apertures that give many letters a punched, modular feel. Proportions read broadly set with stable, upright stems and a tight, even rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for display work where impact and silhouette matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, product packaging, and short UI or app title treatments. It can also work for badges, sports graphics, and retro-themed layouts, especially when set with generous tracking to preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone feels bold and assertive, with a retro-industrial and sporty energy. Its rounded-square geometry and notched detailing also add a slightly arcade/tech flavor, keeping the look friendly rather than severe despite the mass. The result is attention-grabbing and poster-ready, with a playful edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a geometric, rounded-rectangular voice, combining sturdy signage-like forms with small, deliberate cut-ins for character. It prioritizes bold presence and a distinctive, modular silhouette over delicate detail or long-form readability.
At text sizes the dense counters and tight internal spacing can visually close up, while at display sizes the distinctive notches and squared curves become a key identifying feature. The lowercase is stylistically aligned to the caps, maintaining a uniform, constructed feel rather than a traditional text-face contrast.
