A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Counters and apertures tend to be squarish and compact, giving the letterforms a dense, engineered feel. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, terminals are typically flat, and curves resolve into superelliptic bowls rather than true circles. Lowercase forms are simplified and robust, with short extenders and a strong baseline presence; numerals follow the same squared, chunky logic for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, sports or team-style branding, product packaging, and bold signage where high impact is the priority. It also works well for short UI labels or badges when you want a sturdy, button-like silhouette, especially at sizes where the tight counters won’t clog.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial energy reminiscent of stenciled labels, sports graphics, and arcade-era display lettering. Its rounded corners keep the voice friendly enough to feel approachable, while the mass and tight counters maintain a tough, assertive impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a cohesive rounded-rectangle geometry, combining industrial sturdiness with a touch of friendly softness. Its simplified shapes and compact counters suggest a focus on bold graphic presence and consistent texture across letters and numbers.
In running text the rhythm is compact and dark, with small interior spaces and broad shoulders that create strong horizontal bands. The design favors legibility at medium-to-large sizes where the distinctive squared curves and notches read clearly, and it benefits from generous tracking to open up dense word shapes.
