A heavy, block-forward sans with squarish, superellipse-like bowls and firmly rounded corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, creating a dense, compact texture and strong horizontal/vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular, with several letters showing notably closed apertures (especially in forms like e, a, s, and c), which increases the stamped, engineered feel. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt; joins are sturdy and geometric, and the overall silhouette reads as modular and tightly fit.
Best used for headlines and display settings where its dense weight and compact geometry can carry impact—posters, sports and team identity, product packaging, and bold signage. It also works for short labels and UI callouts when set large enough to preserve counter clarity.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with a sporty, industrial edge. Its rounded-rectangle construction softens the weight just enough to feel friendly, but the overall impression remains assertive, loud, and attention-seeking—well suited to bold, impact-driven messaging.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize punch and solidity through compact proportions, squared curves, and tightly controlled counters, yielding a modernized retro display look. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intention to feel both industrial and approachable, balancing hard geometry with softened corners.
The design’s tight internal spaces and closed openings can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, while at larger sizes it delivers a distinctive, poster-ready presence. Numerals follow the same compact, squared logic, keeping rhythm consistent across mixed alphanumeric settings.
