A dense, block-forward sans built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) geometry, pairing broad proportions with compact internal counters. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and corners, while terminals are blunt and smoothly radiused rather than sharp. Many joins show small triangular cut-ins and notches that read like ink-trap-inspired carving, helping counters stay open despite the heavy mass. Strokes are largely uniform with occasional stepped transitions and flat horizontals, producing a sturdy, poster-oriented texture across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where its mass and carved details can read cleanly. It can work well for sports branding, event graphics, apparel marks, packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, rounded-industrial feel.
The overall tone is loud and muscular, with a sporty, industrial confidence that also nods to vintage display lettering. The rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, adding a friendly, toy-like edge to an otherwise forceful voice.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that maximizes presence through broad forms and rounded-rectangle construction, while using strategic cut-ins at joins to preserve legibility. It aims to deliver a distinctive, memorable silhouette for branding and large-format typography.
The sample text shows strong word-shape presence and a tight, consistent rhythm; the notched joins and squared bowls create a distinctive silhouette at headline sizes. Because counters are relatively small, the design reads clearest when given generous size and breathing room.
