A heavy, rounded-rectangle display sans with squarish counters and softened corners throughout. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with small wedge-like notches and slit cuts appearing at joins and terminals, adding a chiseled, ink-trap-like texture without becoming decorative. The bowls and counters lean toward superelliptical geometry (boxy ovals), and many letters have flattened horizontal edges that emphasize a solid, poster-ready silhouette. Spacing is tight and the rhythm is dense, producing strong word shapes at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and large-scale applications where its dense silhouettes and rounded-square construction can read clearly—posters, signage, sports and event branding, bold packaging, and punchy editorial display. It can work for brief text blocks when set large with extra spacing to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is assertive and energetic, with a classic athletic and mid‑century display feel. Its chunky forms and notched detailing give it a rugged, industrial confidence that reads as bold, competitive, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with compact, rounded-square letterforms and subtle notched cuts that help keep forms crisp and distinctive under heavy weight. It prioritizes strong shapes and a confident, graphic presence over delicate detail, targeting bold display use.
The numerals follow the same squared, rounded construction, staying highly graphic and uniform in color. In text settings the dense weight can create strong texture and reduced internal whitespace, making it most comfortable when given generous tracking and line spacing.
