A heavy, geometric sans with block-built letterforms and prominent chamfered corners that read like clipped super-rectangles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark word shapes. Counters tend to be squarish and tight, and many joins and terminals resolve into flat cuts or angled notches, giving the face a machined, modular rhythm. Numerals and capitals share the same hard-edged, constructed logic, while the lowercase maintains a similarly compact, simplified structure for strong texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging where a strong, graphic presence is needed. It also fits sports and team-style applications, game/arcade themed graphics, and short UI labels or badges when set with adequate spacing to offset the compact counters.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian with a retro-digital edge—part arcade display, part athletic signage. Its clipped geometry feels rugged and engineered, while the slightly toy-like block construction keeps it energetic and approachable.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact through simplified, chamfered geometry and dense strokes, creating a robust display voice that remains highly consistent across characters. The construction suggests an intention to evoke engineered, industrial forms while staying legible and distinctive in bold settings.
The design favors closed, sturdy silhouettes and short internal apertures, which helps it hold together at large sizes but creates a tight interior color in longer passages. Distinctive corner cuts and occasional inset notches contribute to recognizability and a consistent “stamped” or “cut-out” feel across the alphabet and figures.
