A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal silhouette. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are small and squarish, giving the letters a dense, compact color. The uppercase set is broad and sturdy, while the lowercase follows the same faceted geometry with simplified bowls and short joins; dots on i/j are square and the numerals are equally chunky and angular. Overall spacing reads on the tight side, emphasizing a solid, poster-like rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where impact and shape recognition matter most—posters, packaging fronts, event graphics, sports or esports branding, and bold logotypes. It can work for UI labels or badges when set large enough to preserve the compact counters.
The tone is bold and high-impact, with a sporty, arcade-like edge created by the clipped corners and compact counters. It feels energetic and slightly nostalgic, suggesting team graphics, game UI, or punchy promotional typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through thick strokes, squared curves, and chamfered corners, combining a constructed geometric system with a friendly rounded-rectangle backbone. Its consistent faceting suggests a focus on strong, reproducible letterforms for branding and display settings.
Diagonal cuts and flattened curves are used consistently across rounds (C/G/O/Q, 0/8/9), helping maintain a unified, constructed look. The design favors strong silhouettes over delicate interior detail, so it holds up best at medium to large sizes where the tight apertures don’t fill in visually.
