A heavy, block-based sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Curves are built from squarish bowls and superelliptical rounds, producing squared counters in letters like O, C, and D. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and joins favor blunt, engineered angles. Many glyphs show small internal cut-ins or notch-like details (notably in C, S, a, and g), adding a slightly mechanical, stencil-adjacent texture without breaking the overall solid silhouette. Lowercase forms are sturdy and compact, with single-storey a and g, short apertures, and broad shoulders that keep word shapes dense and impactful.
Best suited to headlines, short slogans, and large-format display where its dense shapes and squared-round construction can read clearly and project impact. It fits well for branding marks, sports or esports graphics, packaging, and signage where a tough, engineered voice is desirable.
The tone is confident and attention-grabbing, with a rugged, workmanlike flavor that reads as sporty and industrial. The squared rounds and compact rhythm give it a retro display energy reminiscent of team graphics, equipment labeling, and bold poster typography.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight and presence while keeping forms friendly through rounded corners and superelliptical geometry. The small notch details and squared counters suggest an intention to add distinctive character to a simple, blocky sans structure for memorable display typography.
The design maintains a strong, consistent color on the page, with tight interior spaces at smaller sizes due to the squared counters and heavy fills. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, staying highly legible and robust, with simple, blocky forms suited to big, high-contrast applications.
