A dense, heavy sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into broad superellipse corners rather than true circles, giving counters a squared-off softness and keeping stems visually uniform. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, with occasional notch-like cut-ins and tight apertures that enhance a stenciled, machined feel without breaking the overall solid silhouette. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with a high x-height and short extenders; numerals are similarly wide-shouldered and tightly enclosed.
Best suited to display settings where impact is the priority—posters, big headlines, badges, and wordmarks. It can also work well for short, bold UI labels or packaging callouts where a compact, high-density texture helps information stand out.
The overall tone is loud and assertive, combining utilitarian toughness with a playful, retro display energy. Its chunky forms and softened corners read as friendly but forceful, evoking sports branding, industrial labeling, and headline-driven graphic design.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with controlled geometry: a superellipse-based, rounded-block sans that stays clean and consistent while projecting a strong, industrial-meets-retro personality.
Spacing in the samples appears intentionally tight, creating a strong horizontal mass and a consistent dark texture in blocks of text. The squared counters in letters like O/Q and the boxy bowls in B/P/R reinforce a cohesive, engineered rhythm that stays stable at large sizes.
