A heavy, block-built sans with squared geometry and generously rounded corners. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform, with subtle modulation visible in joints and curves, producing a sturdy, mechanical rhythm. Counters are tight and rectangular/rounded-rect in feel, while terminals are blunt and clean. The design balances straight verticals with softened curves (notably in C, G, O, S, and lowercase bowls), giving a compact, high-impact texture in text settings.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications where mass and shape can carry the message: headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, product packaging, and sporty/industrial branding. It also works well for bold UI labels or signage-style treatments where a compact, punchy silhouette improves quick recognition.
The overall tone is assertive and engineered—evoking industrial labeling, sporty signage, and retro-futuristic display typography. Rounded corners keep it approachable, but the dense weight and squared construction make it feel tough, utilitarian, and energetic.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact through dense strokes, squared proportions, and softened corners—combining a functional, engineered structure with a contemporary display attitude. Its shapes prioritize recognizability at large sizes and a consistent, branded texture across letters and numerals.
Letterforms lean toward geometric templates: circular shapes are squarish, diagonals are crisp, and curves often resolve into flattened arcs. The lowercase shows single-storey structures and simplified joins, contributing to a distinctly display-first personality. Numerals match the same blocky, rounded-rectangle logic for a consistent headline voice.
