A heavy, geometric sans built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms with softened corners and broadly even stroke weight. Many curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls, giving counters a squarish feel, while terminals are clean and blunt rather than tapered. The design has a slightly forward-leaning, dynamic stance in the letterforms’ posture and diagonals, with compact apertures and sturdy joins that keep the texture dense. Numerals follow the same blocky, rounded logic, producing a cohesive, signlike rhythm across text.
This face performs best in display sizes where its chunky superellipse construction and dense weight can read as a deliberate graphic statement. It’s well suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding—especially in sports, arcade/gaming, and product packaging—where a compact, energetic texture helps commands and titles stand out.
The overall tone is energetic and sporty, with a distinctly retro display flavor. Its chunky geometry and rounded corners feel friendly and game-like, while the dense black shapes add confidence and impact. The subtle slant and squarish counters contribute a mechanical, tech-adjacent edge without becoming cold.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through softened rectangular geometry: combining the friendliness of rounded corners with the authority of thick, blocklike forms. Its consistent, squarish counters and clean terminals suggest a focus on bold legibility and a distinctive retro-technical voice for branding and display typography.
Round letters like O and Q read as rounded squares, and bowls in letters such as B, P, and R emphasize rectangular counters. In running text the tight apertures and heavy mass create a strong visual color, making it better suited to short bursts than long reading. The punctuation and diacritics shown keep to the same robust, simplified forms.
