A heavy, wide sans with squared construction and softened corners that keep the forms friendly while staying firmly geometric. Many glyphs show deliberate cut-ins and notches at joins and terminals, creating a pseudo-stencil or ink-trap effect that adds texture and improves separation in tight spots. Counters tend toward rounded rectangles, and curves are built from broad, controlled arcs that maintain a strong horizontal/vertical bias. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with short, strong terminals and simplified joins that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short text where impact matters—posters, branding marks, product packaging, and sports or esports-style graphics. It also fits UI or environmental labels when a strong, technical display voice is needed and the cut-in detailing can be appreciated at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and confident, with a distinctly retro-industrial flavor—part scoreboard, part arcade, part machinery label. The notched detailing introduces a technical, engineered character that feels energetic and slightly futuristic without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a structured, engineered look. The notched terminals and joins suggest an effort to add distinctiveness and maintain clarity in dense, heavy shapes, giving the type a branded, display-forward personality.
Round letters like O/Q and C/G emphasize squared bowls with radiused corners, and the notches create crisp internal highlights that can read like intentional cutouts. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, leaning toward single-storey constructions and broad apertures; numerals follow the same blocky logic for consistent, sign-like presence.
