A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared curves and generously rounded corners, giving many letters a rounded-rectangle silhouette. Strokes are uniform and monolinear, with tight apertures and compact internal counters that stay clearly punched out at display sizes. The overall rhythm is dense and powerful, with short joints and crisp terminals; diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and Y are cut cleanly and feel engineered rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with tall, straight stems and minimal modulation, reinforcing a utilitarian, sign-like geometry.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where strong typographic color is an advantage. It works well for sports and esports branding, event posters, product packaging, labels, and logo wordmarks that need a sturdy, engineered feel. In longer passages it will read most comfortably at larger sizes with ample spacing.
The tone is bold and commanding, with a functional, industrial confidence. Its rounded-rectangle construction adds a slightly retro, athletic flavor—more scoreboard and machinery label than friendly UI text. The overall impression is tough, efficient, and built for impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, industrial geometry—combining blunt strength with rounded-rectangle softness to stay legible and cohesive in bold display settings.
Several glyphs show tight openings and squared bowls that prioritize solidity over airiness, creating strong color in paragraphs and headlines. Numerals follow the same compact, squared-curve logic for a consistent, signage-ready set.
