A heavy, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout, where curves resolve into squarish superellipse corners rather than true circles. Strokes maintain a consistent thickness and the overall proportions feel compact, with short extenders and broad, sturdy letter bodies. Counters tend to be small and tightly framed, and joints end in blunt, squared terminals with softly radiused edges. The rhythm is firm and mechanical, with a slightly condensed feel in several glyphs and clear, straight-sided bowls and stems that emphasize a modular geometry.
Best suited for display settings where mass and shape character can carry the message: posters, headlines, brand marks, apparel and sports identities, packaging, and bold UI banners. It can work for short callouts and labels, but its tight counters and heavy color favor larger sizes and higher contrast applications.
The tone is bold and assertive with a friendly, toy-like softness from the rounded corners. It reads as retro-industrial—evoking vintage signage, arcade or sports graphics—while staying clean and contemporary in its geometric discipline. The overall impression is confident, loud, and approachable rather than delicate or formal.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual weight with a cohesive rounded-rectilinear geometry, pairing an industrial sturdiness with softened corners for approachability. Its consistent, modular forms suggest an intention toward strong recognizability and punchy, sign-like clarity in display typography.
The design relies on consistent corner radii and flattened curves, producing distinctive shapes in round letters and numerals where bowls look like rounded rectangles. Spacing appears tuned for headline impact, and the dense interiors and strong verticals give it a poster-ready presence at larger sizes.
