A dense, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and strongly squared counters. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving letters a superelliptic, machined feel. Terminals are blunt and flat, with frequent vertical cut-ins and notches that create a subtle stencil-like rhythm across bowls and stems. Spacing is tight and the overall color is very dark and even, while small apertures and deep joins keep forms compact and impactful at display sizes.
Best suited for big, high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand marks where its dense texture can read clearly. It also fits packaging, event graphics, and sports or tech-themed collateral that benefits from a strong, engineered presence.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and bold headline typography. Its blocky, softened geometry reads as retro-futuristic and tech-adjacent, with an emphatic, no-nonsense voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through compact, rounded-rectangular forms and repeated internal notches that add character without ornament. It prioritizes a consistent, stamp-like texture and immediate recognition over open, text-oriented readability.
The distinctive internal cut shapes repeat across multiple glyphs, creating a cohesive texture in words and a slightly segmented feel in counters. Rounded corners keep the heavy weight from feeling sharp, but the narrow openings suggest it will look clearest when set large with generous line spacing.
