A heavy, expanded sans with crisp, squared shoulders and round bowls that read as clean, geometric forms. Many joins and terminals show triangular notches and cut-ins that create a stencil-like rhythm and an ink-trap-like bite at corners, especially where strokes meet or taper. Curves are broad and smooth, while horizontal strokes and crossbars are kept firm and flat, producing a steady, engineered texture. Counters are open for the weight, and the figures follow the same robust, slightly sculpted construction with distinctive cut terminals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and quick recognition matter—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and sports or tech-forward graphics. The distinctive cut details help large text feel customized, while the open counters keep short lines and slogans legible.
The overall tone is punchy and athletic, with a contemporary, industrial edge. The carved details add attitude and speed, giving the face a performance-oriented feel that suits bold statements more than quiet reading.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, contemporary display voice with built-in visual character, using controlled geometric forms plus strategic cut-ins to avoid monotony and increase punch at large sizes.
The design’s signature is the consistent use of wedge-shaped cuts at terminals and junctions, which adds texture without introducing traditional serifs. Uppercase forms appear particularly wide and stable, while lowercase maintains strong presence through large bowls and sturdy stems.
