A heavy, compact sans with broad proportions and emphatic stroke weight. The letterforms favor squared construction with subtly rounded outer corners and tight, functional apertures, while selective thinning at joints and terminals adds a contrasted, cut-in look. Curves are firm and geometric, counters tend toward oval/rounded rectangles, and diagonals are sturdy and deliberate. The overall rhythm is dense and punchy, designed to hold its shape at large sizes and in tight settings.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, bold headlines, sports and team-style branding, event graphics, and attention-grabbing packaging. Its dense forms and tight apertures suggest using it at larger sizes or with generous tracking and leading when longer text is required.
The font projects a loud, confident tone—more athletic and utilitarian than refined. Its mass and cut-in detailing give it a slightly rugged, engineered personality that reads as energetic and promotional, with a hint of vintage sign/jersey attitude.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, engineered silhouette—combining sturdy geometric shapes with contrast created by cut-ins at joins. It prioritizes visibility and attitude over delicacy, aiming for strong branding presence in short phrases and titles.
The contrast is expressed less as calligraphic modulation and more as strategic notches and narrowed joins that keep heavy shapes from clogging, especially noticeable in rounded letters and where strokes meet. Numerals share the same chunky build and feel designed for quick recognition in display contexts.
