A heavy, block-built sans with broad proportions and rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are mostly straight and orthogonal, with softened corners and selective thinning at joins that reads like ink traps, creating a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters are compact and squarish, apertures are tight, and the overall color is dense and uniform, giving the face strong impact at display sizes. Lowercase forms follow the same modular logic, with sturdy stems, short terminals, and simplified bowls.
Best suited to large-scale headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, powerful texture is an advantage. It works well for sports and esports identities, product packaging, badges, and attention-grabbing signage, especially in short phrases and titles. For longer text, its tight apertures and heavy mass suggest using generous size and spacing.
The font projects an assertive, high-energy voice with a mechanical, industrial edge. Its chunky forms and rounded geometry add a friendly, game-like personality while still feeling tough and utilitarian. The contrast and tight counters give it a slightly retro, printed-signage flavor.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a modular, industrial construction and softened geometry for approachability. The ink-trap-like join shaping appears intended to preserve clarity under heavy weight and in print or screen situations where counters might otherwise fill in.
Distinctive join treatment and notch-like thinning in places (notably in curved joins and diagonals) helps keep interior spaces from clogging, reinforcing a deliberate, engineered look. The figures share the same square-shouldered construction and bold presence, pairing well with the uppercase for punchy numeric callouts.
