A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and softened outer corners. Strokes are consistently thick, with squared terminals and minimal modulation, creating a dense, poster-ready texture. Counters are tight and often appear as small rectangular apertures, which boosts solidity but reduces interior whitespace. The proportions run wide overall, with a tall x-height and short extenders; curves (C, G, O) read as squarish superellipses rather than circles, and diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and weighty to match the verticals. Numerals follow the same chunky, squared logic, emphasizing legibility through bold silhouettes rather than open counters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logos, and bold branding where strong silhouettes matter more than delicate detail. It can work well for packaging, signage, sports or event graphics, and punchy web hero text. For longer passages, larger sizes and generous leading help preserve clarity given the compact counters.
The font projects a tough, industrial confidence with a distinctly retro display flavor. Its rounded-block forms feel engineered and utilitarian—more signage and hardware than editorial—while the compact apertures add a slightly futuristic, arcade-like punch. Overall it reads loud, authoritative, and built for impact at a glance.
The design intention appears to be a high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectangle primitives, prioritizing mass, stability, and quick recognition. By keeping curves squarish and counters minimal, it aims for a distinctive, industrial voice that holds up in bold, condensed blocks of copy.
Spacing in the sample text appears tight and compact, reinforcing a strong, unified word shape. The small internal openings and heavy joins suggest it performs best when given enough size and contrast to prevent counters from filling in visually.
