A heavy, rounded sans with tightly enclosed counters and sculpted, high-contrast cuts that create a carved, stencil-like feel in places. Strokes are broadly monolinear in mass but interrupted by sharp wedges and thin slits, especially in horizontals and joins, producing crisp highlights inside otherwise chunky forms. Terminals tend toward squared-off ends with occasional angled shears, while bowls and curves are generously rounded, giving a soft outer silhouette against the harder internal notches. Spacing appears compact and the overall texture is dense, favoring strong word shapes over airy readability at small sizes.
Best suited to large-scale display typography where its dense weight, wide presence, and internal cut details can be appreciated—such as posters, titles, sports or streetwear branding, packaging, and logo work. It can also work for short callouts and UI hero text when used sparingly, but the compact counters and cuts suggest avoiding small sizes or lengthy body copy.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, mixing friendly rounded volume with edgy, engineered details. It reads as sporty and retro-leaning, with a slightly futuristic, arcade/athletic headline energy that feels confident and loud rather than refined.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a distinctive, carved-in detailing that differentiates it from standard heavy sans faces. Its combination of rounded outer forms and sharp internal wedges suggests an intention to feel both approachable and high-energy, optimized for bold display communication.
Many letters show intentional internal cuts and slit-like apertures that emphasize motion and direction, which can increase character in display settings but may reduce clarity in long passages. Numerals match the same chunky, sculpted construction, maintaining a consistent, punchy color across mixed text.
