A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and frequent chamfered cuts at corners and joins. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and superellipse-like ovals, producing compact counters (notably in O, o, and e) and a tight, mechanical rhythm. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation; terminals are mostly flat with occasional angled notches that add bite and direction. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey a and g and a small, rectangular t-crossbar, keeping the texture dense and highly graphic.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, apparel graphics, and packaging where the chunky silhouettes can read at a distance. It also fits UI labels, game titles, and event graphics when set large, where its compact counters and angular cut-ins remain clear.
The overall tone is loud, sporty, and game-like, with a molded, machined feel that evokes equipment labeling, scoreboard lettering, and retro arcade titling. Its chamfered details add aggression while the rounded geometry keeps it friendly and approachable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch through thick strokes and squared-rounded forms, combining industrial toughness with playful, arcade-leaning charm. The consistent geometric construction suggests a focus on strong silhouettes and an easily recognizable, stamp-like presence.
Spacing appears generous enough for display but the dense interior shapes and small apertures can fill in visually at small sizes. Numerals are similarly blocky and geometric, with strong silhouettes suited to badges and large-scale settings.
