A heavy, geometric sans built from chunky, superellipse-like blocks with pronounced chamfered corners. Counters are mostly squared and compact, and many joins resolve into crisp notches rather than smooth curves, giving letters a cut, machined feel. The lowercase keeps a large x-height and simplified constructions, while spacing and widths vary by glyph in a way that supports tight, impactful setting. Numerals and capitals share the same octagonal/rounded-rectangle logic for a highly consistent silhouette across the set.
Best suited to display settings where its mass and angular rounding can be appreciated—headlines, posters, event graphics, team or gym branding, packaging, and bold UI labels. It also works well for punchy badges, logos, and short promotional copy where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a sporty, industrial energy. Its faceted shapes and compact counters evoke stencil-cut signage, athletic lettering, and retro arcade or sci‑fi display aesthetics. The font reads as confident and loud rather than delicate or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a unified, modular geometry—using chamfered superellipse forms to create a tough, contemporary display voice that stays highly legible in large text and branding contexts.
At smaller sizes the tight apertures and boxed-in counters can darken, while at display sizes the distinctive chamfers and notch details become the main character. The shapes remain strongly modular, producing an even, blocky texture in headlines and short lines.
