A heavy, squared sans with rounded-corner geometry and a superellipse feel throughout. Strokes are thick and confident, with broadly rectangular counters and a strong vertical emphasis in the stems. Several letters feature distinctive horizontal incisions or notches that create a subtle stencil-like rhythm, most visible across curves and bowls. Round characters (O, C, G, Q) read as rounded rectangles, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are simplified into chunky, planar wedges. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with minimal interior space and crisp, flat terminals.
This font is well suited to display applications where bold, high-impact shapes are needed—posters, big headlines, sports and team branding, product packaging, and short emphatic titles. It performs best at medium-to-large sizes where the internal cut details remain clear and contribute to its distinctive rhythm.
The overall tone is loud, tough, and utility-driven, balancing friendly rounded corners with a hard-edged, engineered presence. It carries a sporty, poster-ready energy with a retro-industrial flavor that feels designed to grab attention quickly.
The design appears intended to merge rounded-rectangle geometry with an assertive, poster-forward weight, adding signature cutaway details to keep large, heavy forms from feeling overly flat. It aims for immediate legibility and brandable character in attention-driven layouts.
The sculpted cut-ins add texture and separation at display sizes, but they also make the color of text feel more patterned and mechanical than a plain geometric sans. Spacing appears intentionally broad and stable, supporting impactful headline setting.
