A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and confident, with small, deliberate cut-ins and notches at joins and terminals that create an ink-trap-like bite and add texture to the silhouettes. Counters are relatively tight and often squared-off, while curves resolve into superelliptical shapes rather than true circles. The lowercase carries a tall, sturdy structure with minimal aperture openness, and the overall rhythm reads compact and muscular despite the generous width.
Best for high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, sports identity, bold packaging, and logo/wordmark work where the chunky superelliptical forms and notched details can read clearly at display sizes. It can also work for labels and UI accents when used sparingly and with ample spacing.
The font projects a tough, engineered tone—part industrial signage, part sports headline—with a slightly retro, arcade-like edge. The notched detailing adds a mechanical, “machined” character that feels energetic and assertive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a cohesive rounded-rectangle geometry, while the recurring notches provide a proprietary, industrial signature. Its compact counters and heavy mass suggest a focus on display readability and brandable personality over extended text comfort.
The distinctive cut-ins are a key identifying feature and remain visible even in the numerals, giving the set a consistent, branded texture. In longer text, the dense color and tight counters can create a strong, attention-grabbing mass, best suited to short-to-medium runs where impact is the goal.
