A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with compact counters and a deliberately engineered rhythm. Strokes are monolithic with softened corners, and many letters include distinctive wedge-like notches and internal cuts that read as stencil-inspired detailing rather than true segmentation. Curves resolve into squarish bowls (notably in C, O, and D), while diagonals in forms like N, V, W, X, and Z are robust and geometric. Spacing and proportions favor strong silhouette recognition, with lowercase forms built to match the uppercase’s blocky, superelliptical construction.
Best suited to display typography where the chunky geometry and notched details can be appreciated—posters, logos, product packaging, apparel graphics, and attention-grabbing headers. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough to preserve the interior cuts and tight counters.
The overall tone is bold and industrial with a hint of retro sports and arcade signage. The notched details add a playful, engineered character that feels mechanical and punchy, giving headlines an assertive, high-impact voice without becoming sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, rounded geometry while differentiating itself with consistent notch and cut motifs. It aims for a contemporary industrial feel with retro display cues, prioritizing memorable silhouettes for branding and headline use.
The stencil-like cuts are used consistently across multiple glyphs, creating a cohesive visual motif that becomes especially prominent at display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-block logic, producing sturdy, sign-ready figures that visually align with the caps and lowercase.
