A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Letterforms feel carved from broad slabs: strokes are thick and compact, counters are small and often rectangular, and curves resolve into superelliptical arcs rather than true circles. The overall silhouette is squat and sturdy in capitals, while the lowercase maintains a large, commanding x-height with minimal ascender/descender emphasis. Spacing appears tight and massed, producing dense word shapes with strong black coverage and crisp interior cutouts.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, merchandising, sports branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for large-format statements and punchy subheads where dense, dark typography is a benefit, while extended small-size text will quickly feel heavy and compact.
The font projects a loud, confident tone—part industrial and athletic, part retro display—tempered by friendly rounding that keeps it from feeling harsh. Its exaggerated weight and compact counters create an assertive, poster-like presence that reads as energetic and bold rather than formal.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact with a compact, rounded-rect geometry that stays legible at display sizes while delivering a strong, graphic texture. The small counters, tight rhythm, and softened corners suggest a balance between rugged industrial solidity and approachable, contemporary friendliness.
Several glyphs show distinctive stencil-like notches and squared apertures that add texture and a slightly mechanical rhythm, especially noticeable in diagonals and joins. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded-rect logic, keeping a consistent, punchy texture across mixed text.
