A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle structure and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette on many glyphs. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight, compact counters (notably in O, P, R, 8, 9) and squared terminals that keep the texture dense. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than continuous rounds, producing a firm, cut-out feel. Spacing appears slightly irregular by design, with some letters reading wider (M, W) and others more condensed, contributing to a lively rhythm in text.
Best suited to display use where mass and silhouette matter: headlines, posters, short UI labels, packaging, and bold identity marks. It holds up well at larger sizes where the angular rounding and compact counters can read as deliberate character rather than congestion.
The overall tone is tough and energetic, with a vintage sign-painting or athletic-block vibe. Its chunky geometry and clipped corners add a playful ruggedness that feels approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, uniform strokes and a distinctive chamfered, rounded-rectangle construction. It prioritizes punchy shapes and a strong typographic color for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
Uppercase forms are especially assertive and poster-like, while the lowercase stays simple and sturdy, maintaining the same chamfered, soft-corner logic. Numerals are bold and emblematic, with strong interior shapes and clear differentiation (e.g., 0 vs 8/9) driven by counter geometry rather than fine details.
