A heavy, block-constructed sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms and softened corners throughout. Curves are squared off and bowls read as boxy counters, giving letters like O, D, P, and R a compact, machined feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt and clean. The tall lowercase with a large x-height, short ascenders/descenders, and tight internal apertures produces a dense, impactful texture in text, while numerals follow the same squared, sturdy geometry for a unified rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where mass and silhouette matter: headlines, poster typography, branding marks, and bold packaging. It also fits sports, tech, and industrial-themed identities, and works well for short UI labels or signage when set at sizes large enough to keep counters clear.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a sporty, techno-industrial edge. Its rounded corners keep the voice friendly enough to avoid harshness, but the tight counters and blocky silhouettes still project strength, efficiency, and a distinctly retro-digital attitude.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a modular, rounded-rectangular geometry that stays consistent across letters and numbers. Its tall lowercase and compact shapes suggest an intention to create a strong, space-efficient display voice that feels modern yet retro-coded.
The design leans on uniform, modular shapes that feel engineered, making letterforms highly consistent across the alphabet. In running text it creates a dark, even color with strong presence, and the compact apertures/counters become a defining stylistic trait at smaller sizes.
