A heavy, geometric sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with compact, often rectangular counters and short apertures that keep the silhouettes punchy at large sizes. Curves read as squarish bowls rather than true circles, while diagonals and joins stay crisp, producing a sturdy, built-from-blocks rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Numerals follow the same chunky, superelliptical logic, maintaining consistent weight and a tightly contained interior space.
Best suited to display applications where maximum impact is desired: headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or title cards when set with generous size and spacing to preserve legibility.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a retro-industrial feel reminiscent of bold signage and arcade-era graphics. Its blocky massing and rounded edges balance toughness with friendliness, giving it an energetic, slightly playful voice.
Likely intended as a high-impact display sans that swaps circular geometry for rounded-rectangular forms to produce a distinctive, chunky texture. The design emphasizes bold presence and consistent, modular shapes for attention-grabbing titles and branding.
Word shapes appear compact and tightly packed because the internal spaces are small and openings are restrained, which increases impact but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The design’s consistent corner rounding and squarish curvature create a strong, unified texture in all-caps and headline settings.
