A compact, heavy display sans with squared, superellipse-style outlines and softened corners. Strokes are massive and uniform in presence, while internal counters are narrow and often appear as vertical slits or tight rectangular cut-ins, creating a distinctive stencil-like interruption across many forms. The overall rhythm is wide and low-detail, prioritizing silhouette and impact over intricate modulation; joins are blunt, terminals are flat, and curves resolve into boxy rounded rectangles. Lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s geometric logic with a tall x-height and minimal differentiation, and numerals follow the same chunky, cut-out construction for strong consistency across the set.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as poster headlines, title cards, bold branding marks, sports or event graphics, and packaging where strong silhouettes are an advantage. It can also work for short UI labels or signage when set large enough to preserve the interior openings and letter differentiation.
The font conveys a loud, forceful tone with a retro-industrial flavor—part athletic headline, part machine-stamped signage. Its tight counters and carved openings add a rugged, utilitarian edge that feels built for impact and immediacy rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended as a maximal-impact, geometric display face built around rounded-rectangle construction and deliberate internal cut-outs to add character. The goal is strong presence and quick recognition in headline contexts, with a consistent, industrial rhythm across letters and numbers.
At smaller sizes the narrow apertures and internal cut-ins can begin to fill in visually, so it reads best when given room and contrast. The exaggerated weight and wide stance create strong horizontal momentum, making short phrases feel especially punchy.
