A heavy, block-built sans with letterforms constructed from rounded rectangles and softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with tight internal counters, producing dense silhouettes and strong figure/ground contrast. The shapes favor squared geometry over pure circles, with occasional notches and cut-ins that create a subtly stencil-like rhythm in joints and terminals. Lowercase forms keep a tall x-height and simplified construction, while overall spacing reads steady and compact in text.
Best suited to display settings where weight and presence are the priority—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding systems. It can also work for short UI labels or signage where a compact, high-impact word shape helps legibility at a distance, but it is less geared toward long-form reading.
The tone is bold and commanding with a friendly edge: sturdy, utilitarian shapes tempered by rounded corners and quirky cut-ins. It evokes retro industrial signage and arcade-era display lettering, projecting confidence and immediacy rather than refinement.
The likely intent is a high-impact display sans that feels engineered and contemporary while nodding to retro block lettering. Its rounded-rectangle construction and compact counters aim to maximize punch and consistency across letters and numerals, giving designers a distinctive, logo-ready texture.
Numerals follow the same squared, rounded-rectangle logic, keeping them highly uniform and poster-ready. The design’s distinctive personality comes from its combination of soft cornering and occasional incisions that break up mass and add visual texture.
