A heavy, tightly packed display face with squarish, superellipse-derived bowls and softly rounded corners. Strokes are broad and assertive, with pronounced internal cut-ins and notches that create sharp highlight-like slivers in counters and joins, lending a carved, ink-trap-adjacent feel. Curves on letters like C, O, S, and G read as flattened ovals with strong horizontal emphasis, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y, Z) are chunky and faceted rather than delicate. Counters are small and often pinched, producing a dense texture and strong silhouette at headline sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, wordmarks, event branding, and packaging fronts. The dense, high-contrast interior detailing can visually fill in at very small sizes, so it performs most clearly when given room and set large.
The overall tone is loud and confident, evoking late-20th-century display typography, sports branding, and arcade/poster energy. Its dramatic cut-ins add a mischievous, engineered personality—part futuristic, part throwback—making text feel energetic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through wide, blocky forms while adding distinctive character via consistent cut-ins and pinched counters. It prioritizes silhouette, rhythm, and brandable shapes over neutral text clarity, aiming for a memorable display voice.
Round letters maintain consistent squarish curvature, creating a cohesive system across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase shows single-storey forms where applicable and keeps the same pinched apertures, reinforcing the compact rhythm. Numerals are similarly stout, with tight counters and strong top/bottom masses that hold up in bold settings.
