A heavy, blocky sans with squarish curves and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight internal apertures and small counters that read like cutouts, giving letters a compact, high-impact silhouette. Uppercase forms feel rigid and architectural, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky geometry and a notably high x-height, producing short ascenders/descenders and a sturdy rhythm. Terminals are mostly flat, corners are softened, and diagonals in forms like A, K, V, W, X, and Y are steep and thick, reinforcing a strong, poster-like presence.
Best suited for short, prominent setting—headlines, posters, product marks, and high-impact packaging—where its dense shapes and squared-round geometry read clearly. It also works well in signage and labels that need a rugged, attention-grabbing voice, but is less ideal for long passages or small UI text due to its tight apertures and compact counters.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, balancing a rounded-rectangle friendliness with a tough, industrial edge. It suggests sports branding, machinery, and bold display typography, with a slightly retro techno flavor driven by the squared curves and tight counters.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize visual weight and presence while keeping a clean sans foundation, using rounded-rectangle construction to feel modern and engineered. The compact interiors and cutout-like counters suggest an emphasis on boldness, reproducibility, and strong brand recognition at display sizes.
At text sizes the small counters and narrow openings can close up, especially in letters like a, e, s, and numerals such as 8 and 9, so it benefits from generous sizing and breathable spacing. The design’s consistent squarish rounding helps maintain a cohesive texture across mixed-case settings and numerals.
