A chunky geometric sans built from rounded-rectangle and clipped-corner forms, with smooth exterior curves and squared counters. Strokes stay heavy and stable, giving the letters a compact, monolithic feel with minimal modulation. Terminals are mostly flat and the curvature is consistent across rounds, producing a clean, machined rhythm. Numerals match the same softened, octagonal geometry, with sturdy, closed shapes and clear interior apertures at display sizes.
Best suited to display applications where impact and personality are priorities—headlines, poster typography, logos, labels, and bold UI moments. It performs especially well for short phrases and large numerals (scores, prices, badges), where the blocky geometry and rounded corners remain crisp and recognizable.
The overall tone is bold and game-like, mixing an industrial heft with friendly rounded corners. It feels energetic and contemporary, suggesting hardware, sports branding, and retro arcade interfaces rather than editorial refinement.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a consistent superelliptical geometry, combining rugged solidity with approachable rounding. The intention is likely a contemporary display face that references engineered forms and retro-digital styling while staying clean and legible at larger sizes.
The design favors simplified construction and strong silhouettes, with tight-looking internal spaces and broad joins that read best when given room. Its uniform, softened corners and squared counters create a distinctive stamped/engineered character that holds together well in short bursts of text.
