A heavy, block-driven sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction and broadly squared counters. Curves are tight and controlled, with softened corners rather than fully circular bowls, giving forms a machined, stamped feel. Terminals are mostly blunt, joins are firm, and several letters show small notch-like cut-ins that read as ink-trap-inspired detailing at tight interior corners. Numerals follow the same chunky geometry, with strong verticals and simplified, robust apertures built for impact at display sizes.
Best suited to display roles where weight and shape can carry the message: headlines, posters, bold editorial openers, brand marks, and energetic sports or event graphics. It can also work for packaging and label-style applications where a compact, rugged voice is desirable, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is loud and confident, leaning industrial and athletic with a distinctly retro edge. Its dense shapes and squared curves feel utilitarian and tough, suggesting signage, equipment labeling, or competition branding more than delicate editorial work. The notched details add a slightly engineered, custom-built attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a controlled, geometric silhouette—using superelliptical bowls and squared counters for a distinctive, cohesive texture. The notch-like details suggest an effort to keep dense joins readable and to add a signature industrial character, aiming at branding and high-impact display typography rather than neutral text setting.
Spacing in the sample text reads tight and compact, amplifying the solid texture of lines of type. The rounded-square construction stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a uniform, logo-like rhythm. The small interior notches become more noticeable at larger sizes and can add character in headlines while potentially adding visual noise in long blocks of text.
