A heavy, wide sans with compact counters and a strong, graphic silhouette. Strokes are mostly monolinear in feel with sharp, clean terminals, while round letters lean toward squarish ovals that keep forms tight and sturdy. Curves are controlled and slightly flattened, producing a broad, planted rhythm; diagonals (like in V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable with blunt joins. The lowercase is robust and simplified, with short extenders and wide bowls that emphasize mass and legibility at larger sizes.
Best suited for display typography where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, large-format signage, and bold brand marks. It also fits packaging and sports/industrial-themed identities where a wide, weighty voice helps carry attention. In longer text blocks it will read very dark and tight, making it more appropriate for short bursts than extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and forceful, with a utilitarian, no-nonsense voice that reads as sporty and industrial. Its wide stance and compact interiors create a high-impact presence that feels modern yet slightly retro, like classic signage and athletic branding. The texture is dense and attention-grabbing, prioritizing punch over subtlety.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a wide, compact, geometric build that holds up in bold graphic applications. The simplified, sturdy forms suggest an emphasis on clarity and presence in branding and headline settings, where a strong silhouette matters more than delicate detail.
The numerals and capitals are especially imposing due to their width and tight counters, which increases perceived weight in text lines. At smaller sizes the dense interior spaces may start to fill in, but at display sizes the shapes look crisp and intentional.
