A heavy, block-based sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry with softened corners and flat terminals. The strokes are massive and uniform, creating dense silhouettes and small, often squared counters that read like cutouts. Curves are squarish and superelliptical, with occasional notches and segmented joins that give certain letters (e.g., S, R, G, W) a subtly constructed, almost modular feel. Spacing appears generous for the weight, supporting large sizes where the chunky forms and tight counters stay intentional rather than cramped.
Best suited to display settings where strong, chunky letterforms are an asset: posters, headlines, branding marks, packaging, and bold social graphics. It also fits titles and UI moments in games or tech-themed visuals, especially when set large with comfortable tracking to keep the counters clear.
The overall tone is bold and attention-grabbing, combining retro display energy with a slightly futuristic, machine-made character. Its rounded block shapes feel friendly and game-like, while the carved-in details add an industrial edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction, balancing friendliness with a built, industrial sensibility. The small counters and carved details suggest a deliberate display focus: creating distinctive silhouettes that remain consistent across letters and numerals.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, squared-rounded construction, helping the alphabet feel cohesive in headlines. Numerals match the same cutout-counter logic, producing sturdy, sign-like figures that maintain the font’s compact, punchy rhythm.
