A heavy, block-driven sans with squared construction softened by rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are thick and tightly spaced, with compact counters that create a dense, poster-ready texture. Many joins and terminals read as cut or notched, producing a slightly stenciled, engineered look, while curves (C, G, O, Q, 0) feel like superelliptical rounds rather than true circles. The lowercase maintains a strong, uniform silhouette with minimal modulation, and the numerals share the same squarish, built-up geometry for consistent texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as posters, headlines, logos/wordmarks, sports or team graphics, packaging callouts, and bold UI/labeling moments. It performs especially well when set large, where the notched details and squared-round geometry are clearly visible.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, blending a retro display sensibility with a contemporary, industrial presence. It feels sporty and authoritative—more about impact and signage clarity than subtlety—while the rounded corners keep it approachable instead of harsh.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a compact, engineered rhythm—combining rounded-rectangle forms and crisp cut details to create a strong, industrial display voice that stays consistent across letters and figures.
The font’s tight internal spaces and deep ink traps/notches give it a rugged, manufactured character that holds together in large sizes. Round letters skew toward rounded-rectangle forms, and diagonal-heavy letters (V, W, X, Y) emphasize a muscular, cut-from-sheet aesthetic.
