A heavy, wide display face built from squared forms with softened, rounded corners and clear stroke modulation. Curves tend to resolve into flat terminals and rectangular bowls, giving letters like C, G, O, and D a boxy silhouette with tight interior counters. The uppercase set reads as compact and sturdy, while the lowercase echoes the same geometry with simplified, sturdy joins and short ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same squared construction, with strong, stable shapes and consistent corner radiusing that keeps the texture cohesive at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and a geometric, sign-like character are desirable. It will also work well for packaging, labels, and large-format signage, especially when you want an industrial or athletic voice and clear, chunky letterforms.
The overall tone feels industrial and retro, with a confident, no-nonsense presence reminiscent of signage, equipment labels, and sports or automotive branding. Its dense forms and squared curves project strength and utility rather than delicacy, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling overly harsh.
The design appears intended as an attention-forward display sans that blends geometric squareness with controlled contrast to create a bold, engineered look. Its consistent corner treatment and compact counters suggest a focus on creating a distinctive, repeatable texture for branding and titling.
The face creates a dark, even typographic color and a distinctive rhythm from repeated rectangular bowls and flattened curves. Tight counters and robust joins make the design feel optimized for impact in short lines, where the blocky construction becomes a recognizable brand texture.
