A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with crisp, squared terminals, while internal counters are compact and often squared-off, creating dense, punchy silhouettes. The design leans horizontal in several forms, with wide bowls and sturdy joins; diagonals are simplified and angular, keeping the rhythm mechanical rather than calligraphic. Numerals and uppercase share the same chunky, modular logic, producing an even, poster-like texture in text settings.
Best suited to headlines, branding, and other display contexts where strong shape and impact are priorities. It works well for logotypes, packaging callouts, event graphics, and sports or automotive-themed visuals. In longer text blocks it will perform better at larger sizes with generous leading to counterbalance the dense interior spaces.
The overall tone feels retro-tech and industrial, like molded plastic lettering or late-20th-century display typography. Its soft corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the tight apertures and chunky geometry add a confident, muscular attitude. The result is bold and playful, with a distinctly synthetic, game/arcade-adjacent energy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a modular, rounded-rect geometry that remains friendly rather than aggressive. It emphasizes compact counters, sturdy horizontals, and simplified joins to create a consistent, high-impact texture for display typography.
The face favors closed forms and narrow openings, which increases visual mass at smaller sizes. Spacing in the sample reads relatively tight and the dense counters can reduce clarity in long passages, while short words and titles maintain strong shape recognition.
