A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are massively thick with tight, compact counters and small apertures, giving letters a dense, poster-ready silhouette. Many joins and terminals are squared off, while curved forms (C, G, O, S) read as squarish rounds rather than true circles. Several glyphs show small rectangular cut-ins or notches (notably in B, D, P and some numerals), adding a subtly engineered, display-oriented texture. The lowercase is robust and broad with a high x-height and short extenders, keeping word shapes squat and weighty.
Best suited for large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, event graphics, brand marks, and packaging where strong silhouette and dense typographic color are desirable. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when ample size and spacing are available, but it is not optimized for long-form reading at small sizes.
The font projects maximum impact and a confident, no-nonsense attitude, with a playful retro-industrial edge. Its rounded-square geometry feels friendly rather than sharp, but the dense color and compact spacing make it assertive and attention-grabbing. Overall it evokes bold signage, sports/arena graphics, and headline typography designed to hit hard from a distance.
Designed to deliver a bold, geometric display voice built from superelliptic forms—prioritizing silhouette, density, and immediate legibility at distance. The notched details and compact counters suggest an intention to add character and structure while keeping the overall system simple, modular, and highly impactful.
In running text, the tight counters and heavy mass reduce internal white space, so the face reads best at larger sizes where the cut-ins, bowls, and apertures remain distinct. The numerals match the letters’ blocky rhythm and rounded-rectangle curves, supporting cohesive display setting.
