A heavy, blocky sans with squared, superellipse-derived bowls and softened corners that keep the geometry friendly while staying rigid. Strokes are strongly rectilinear with frequent right angles, and many joins show notched cut-ins that read like stencil breaks or ink-trap inspired carving. Counters tend to be small and boxy, creating dense, high-impact silhouettes; rounding is consistent, producing a cohesive, machined rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals follow the same squared construction, with closed forms using small rectangular apertures and open forms simplified into bold, stable shapes.
Best suited to display typography where its carved details and compact counters remain clear—headlines, poster titles, logotypes, sports and esports branding, and bold packaging callouts. It can also work for short labels or UI badges where a rugged, technical feel is desired, but it is less ideal for long passages of small text.
The overall tone is tough and engineered—more mechanical than humanist—suggesting speed, hardware, and utility signage. The notched detailing adds a gritty, industrial edge, while the rounded-square geometry keeps it approachable rather than brutalist.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a constructed, squared geometry and a distinctive notched/stencil-like internal treatment. It prioritizes bold presence and a recognizable texture over neutrality, aiming for a technical-industrial aesthetic that stays coherent across letters and numbers.
The design relies on distinctive interior cutaways in several letters, which become a signature texture at display sizes but can visually fill in at smaller settings due to tight counters. Its visual voice is consistent between upper- and lowercase, with the lowercase maintaining the same angular, constructed logic rather than becoming calligraphic or soft.
