A heavy, compact sans with squared, superellipse-derived counters and softly rounded outer corners. Strokes are mostly monolinear with abrupt, flat terminals and minimal modulation, giving letters a machined, cut-from-metal look. The design leans narrow with tall lowercase proportions, tight apertures, and rectangular bowls in forms like O, Q, and 0; the overall rhythm is vertical and dense. Diacritics in the sample (e.g., the apostrophe) and punctuation appear stout and simplified, matching the blocky construction.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and identity work where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It works well for sports and esports branding, industrial or tech-themed packaging, signage-style graphics, and bold UI labels when used with ample size and spacing.
The tone is energetic and utilitarian, combining a retro-industrial sign aesthetic with a contemporary tech and sports flavor. Its compact geometry reads forceful and efficient, emphasizing impact and legibility over warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, space-efficient sans with a squared, superelliptical construction that stays readable while feeling engineered and graphic. Its simplified terminals and rectangular counters suggest an aim toward display-first versatility across branding and headline settings.
Round letters are treated as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, and many joins and corners are deliberately squared, producing a consistent, modular texture. The narrow openings and dense spacing can create a dark color in text, especially at smaller sizes.
