A heavy, squared-round sans with superelliptical bowls and broadly flattened curves that read like rounded rectangles. Strokes are consistently thick with softened corners, producing a dense, compact color and strong horizontal emphasis. Counters tend toward squarish ovals, apertures are relatively tight, and several joins show subtle triangular notches that function like ink-trap-style cut-ins at interior corners. The overall geometry is orderly and sturdy, with straight-sided verticals and controlled rounding rather than fully circular forms.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, logos, sports and team-style graphics, and packaging where a dense, confident silhouette is an advantage. It can work for brief UI labels or signage at larger sizes, especially where a sturdy, engineered look is desired.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, leaning sporty and industrial with a hint of retro digital/arcade flavor. Its chunky forms and constrained openings give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that feels engineered for impact rather than delicacy.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum presence with a cohesive superelliptical geometry—combining softened corners with tightly controlled counters for a powerful, industrial feel. Subtle interior cut-ins suggest an effort to keep shapes from filling in and to sharpen joins while preserving an overall rounded-rectangle aesthetic.
The design maintains a consistent rounded-rectangle logic across letters and numerals, which helps long lines of text feel uniform and mechanically regular. The tight apertures and high visual mass suggest it will benefit from generous tracking and larger sizes when used in longer phrases.
