A heavy, expanded display sans with squared construction and subtly rounded outer corners. Strokes show deliberate thickness shifts, with compact interior counters and occasional cut-in notches that read like ink traps or stencil breaks, especially at joins and terminals. The overall rhythm is wide and steady, with flat-ended horizontals, strong vertical emphasis, and chunky curves on letters like C, G, O, and S. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, engineered geometry, while lowercase forms remain simplified and blocky for consistent texture at large sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, sports identities, and bold packaging callouts. It can work for signage or labels where a compact, forceful word shape is helpful, but it’s less appropriate for extended text due to its dense texture and tight counters.
The tone is bold and self-assured, leaning toward retro poster and athletic branding territory. Its muscular shapes and hard edges feel industrial and mechanical, while the softened corners keep it from feeling brittle. Overall it projects impact and urgency—designed to grab attention quickly.
This design appears intended as a commanding, characterful display face that combines wide, block-based proportions with engineered details for a distinctive silhouette. The contrast and notch-like cut-ins suggest a goal of adding visual bite and durability while preserving a clean, sans structure.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight internal spaces create a strong black mass, making spacing and line breaks important for readability. The distinctive notches and compressed counters add character but can visually fill in at small sizes or in long paragraphs.
