A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves read as superelliptical rather than circular, giving bowls and counters a squared, machined feel. Strokes stay consistent in weight with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly flat, producing a sturdy, sign-like rhythm. Many forms show gentle shearing/angle cues and slightly asymmetrical joins, adding energy without breaking the overall geometric consistency.
Best suited to large, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, product packaging, sports or team-style branding, and bold UI labels. It also works well for logos and short statements where the squared-rounded geometry can become a key visual motif.
The tone is bold and confident with a retro-industrial flavor, reminiscent of athletic branding, arcade-era graphics, and utilitarian labeling. Its chunky silhouettes and rounded corners feel friendly and playful while still projecting toughness and impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, rounded-rect silhouette that stays clean and contemporary while referencing vintage display lettering. The slightly dynamic construction suggests it’s meant to feel active and attention-grabbing rather than purely neutral.
Counters tend to be tight and rectangular, so at smaller sizes the inner shapes can visually close up, especially in letters with enclosed forms and in the numerals. The uppercase has a strong, poster-oriented presence, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky geometry for a cohesive system.
