A heavy, rounded-rectangle sans with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are largely monolinear, built from superellipse-like bowls and squared-off terminals softened by generous corner rounding. Many glyphs show deliberate angular notches and small cut-ins at joins and terminals, creating a quasi-stencil, machined feel while maintaining a solid, chunky silhouette. Lowercase forms are tall and robust, with single-storey shapes where applicable and a generally tight interior spacing that emphasizes mass and impact.
Best suited to display typography where weight and presence are needed: headlines, posters, merchandising, and sports or event branding. It can also work for packaging and short UI labels or app titles when used at sizes large enough to preserve the small counters and interior cut-ins.
The overall tone is bold and energetic, with a rugged, engineered character that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing. The rounded geometry keeps it friendly, while the carved notches add a tough, industrial edge that can feel slightly retro or arcade-like in display settings.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact, geometric display sans that combines rounded superellipse construction with intentional notch details to create a distinctive, industrial voice. It aims for strong readability at large sizes while delivering a signature, machined texture in the letterforms.
The uppercase set appears especially square and block-driven, while the lowercase keeps the same construction but reads more compact and modular. Numerals follow the same heavy, rounded-rect logic with simplified interior openings, helping maintain consistency in dense headlines.
