A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and tightly enclosed counters. Curves resolve into squared-off bowls and softened corners, while many joins and terminals show crisp, inset cutouts that read like stencil notches or ink traps. The rhythm is dense and compact, with short apertures on letters like C, S, and e, and a generally squat, slabby silhouette across both cases. Numerals follow the same rectilinear logic, with the 0 as a rounded rectangle and the 8 built from stacked, compact loops.
Best suited to display work where impact matters: posters, big headlines, badges, wordmarks, and packaging fronts. It also fits sports and industrial branding systems that benefit from compact, rugged letterforms. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous tracking help maintain clarity as the tight apertures and dense color can close up.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking signage, sports graphics, and mid-century display lettering. Its notched detailing adds a mechanical, engineered flavor that feels assertive and slightly retro. The result is attention-grabbing and confident rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through compact, rounded-rectangular geometry, while adding character via consistent notched cuts that suggest stencil construction and improve internal separation. It aims to feel both geometric and engineered—clean in outline, but distinctive in detail.
In text settings the tight counters and narrow openings can darken quickly, creating a strong texture and pronounced horizontal/vertical masses. The distinctive cut-in details become a defining feature at larger sizes, where the letterforms read as crafted shapes rather than simple geometric blocks.
