A heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and crisp, squared terminals. Curves are built from broad superelliptical bowls that flatten slightly at extremes, while joins and counters show deliberate cut-ins that read like small notches or ink-trap-style bites. The caps are tall and space-efficient, with simplified geometry and strong vertical emphasis; diagonals and curves stay stout and controlled. Lowercase follows the same blocky logic with single-storey forms and sturdy stems, producing a tight, rhythmic texture and pronounced black/white patterning in text.
Best suited for headlines and short statements where its dense silhouette and distinctive cut-ins can be appreciated. It works well for logos, badges, packaging, and sports or event branding that benefits from a sturdy, retro-industrial voice. For longer reading, larger sizes and generous spacing help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels industrial and retro, with a poster-like confidence that leans toward athletic and display branding. The rounded corners soften the mass, giving it a slightly playful, game-title energy despite the heavy weight. Its distinctive notches add a crafted, mechanical flavor that reads as bold and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with compact, rounded block forms and a signature notched detailing that differentiates it from straightforward geometric sans styles. It prioritizes bold recognition and a strong, repeatable pattern over delicate modulation.
Several letters feature deep, rounded counters and narrow apertures that create strong internal shapes; this can make similar forms (like c/e and o) feel closer at small sizes. The numerals echo the same chunky, rounded geometry, with the 1 and 7 kept especially simple and sign-like.
