A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction and large internal counters relative to its weight. Curves are squarish and softened rather than fully circular, producing a sturdy, machined silhouette. Strokes stay largely consistent, with occasional angular cuts and notches that add a slightly chiseled, display-driven texture. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with compact joins and strong, simplified terminals that hold up well at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short-form copy where mass and silhouette are the primary communicators—posters, logotypes, product packaging, and bold labels. It also fits sports, automotive, and entertainment graphics where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. For longer reading, it works most reliably in large sizes with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, blending industrial sturdiness with a retro display sensibility. Its softened corners keep the impact friendly enough for entertainment contexts, while the dense black shapes read as confident and promotional.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a controlled, geometric system based on rounded rectangles. Its simplified shapes and chiseled details suggest a display font built for strong reproduction in print and signage, prioritizing punchy word shapes over delicate typographic nuance.
Uppercase forms feel especially geometric and monolithic, while lowercase maintains the same construction with simplified bowls and short, sturdy arms. Numerals are similarly blocky and bold, designed to match headline settings and signage-like applications. The family’s distinctive rounded-square geometry gives the text a consistent, stamped look across mixed-case and figures.
