A heavy, block-built sans with squarish, superelliptical silhouettes and consistently rounded outer corners. Strokes are largely monolinear, with tight apertures and rectangular counters that read like punched-in holes, giving many letters a structured, almost stencil-like interior. Curves are minimized in favor of flat terminals and chamfered/rounded joins, while diagonals in letters like K, M, N, V, W, X, Y and Z keep a crisp, engineered rhythm. The overall texture is dense and compact, optimized for strong shape recognition at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where maximum impact is needed—posters, sports and team identities, product packaging, event graphics, and bold wayfinding or labeling. It can also work well for tech, gaming, or industrial-themed visuals where dense, geometric letterforms reinforce the message.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, with a sporty, tech-forward attitude reminiscent of industrial labeling and retro arcade or sci‑fi titling. Its chunky geometry and squared curves project strength, immediacy, and a slightly mechanical character.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact display typography built from rounded-rectangle geometry: strong silhouettes, compact spacing, and simplified counters that hold up in loud branding contexts. The consistent, engineered construction suggests a focus on firmness and readability at large sizes rather than delicate text setting.
The alphabet shows deliberate simplification: bowls and counters tend toward rounded rectangles, and openings stay narrow, increasing impact but reducing airiness. Numerals match the same squared, robust construction, supporting cohesive headline systems.
