A heavy, block-constructed sans with compact interior counters and softly rounded outer corners. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical, with occasional tapered joins and slight thickness modulation that reads as a subtle contrasted build rather than true monoline. The lowercase is sturdy and wide-shouldered with a single-storey “a” and “g,” short ascenders, and a large, sturdy dot on “i/j.” Numerals are thick and simplified, with squat forms and tight apertures, giving the overall set a dense, poster-oriented texture.
Best suited to high-impact display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging, and sports or event graphics where dense letterforms help hold shape at large sizes. It can also work for short UI labels or signage-style callouts when a forceful, compact texture is desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining an industrial sturdiness with a slightly retro athletic flavor. Its tight counters and blocky silhouettes project urgency and confidence, making text feel loud, condensed-in-spirit, and intentionally utilitarian.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight and clarity with a simplified, blocky construction, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a tight typographic color for attention-grabbing display typography.
Curved characters like C, G, O, and S keep a squared-off, engineered curve that preserves a boxy rhythm. Diagonals in K, V, W, X, and Y are broad and stable, contributing to a strong, uniform color in headlines while adding a hint of mechanical sharpness at joins.
