A very heavy, compact sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tight counters. Strokes are mostly vertical and horizontal with sharp internal cut-ins and abrupt terminals, creating a punched, high-impact texture. Rounds (O, C, G, 0) read as superelliptical blocks rather than true circles, and joins often form squared shoulders that feel almost slab-like despite the sans structure. The lowercase is sturdy with a large x-height and minimal modulation in overall geometry, while select letters show narrow apertures and clipped interiors that intensify the dense rhythm in text.
Best suited to display contexts where maximum impact is needed: big headlines, posters, event or sports graphics, bold brand marks, and packaging. It can also work for short bursts of text such as callouts or labels, but extended copy will benefit from generous size and spacing due to the dense counters and narrow apertures.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking stamped lettering, sports signage, and mid-century display typography. Its chunky superellipse shapes and compressed openings create a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads bold, rugged, and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, powerful silhouette built from rounded-rectangle forms, prioritizing punchy presence and consistent block rhythm over delicate detail. Its clipped interiors and squared joins suggest an aim for industrial clarity and a distinctive, poster-centric texture.
In the sample text, the dark color and tight internal spaces produce strong word shapes but can fill in at smaller sizes; the design shines when given room and size. Numerals are similarly block-driven, with squared bowls and pronounced interior cutouts that match the uppercase texture.
