A heavy, block-built sans with squared silhouettes, tight interior counters, and emphatically vertical stems. Most terminals are flat and rectangular, with occasional notched cuts and step-like corners that create a machined, almost stenciled impression. Curves are minimized in favor of squared bowls and rounded-rectangle counters, giving the glyphs a rigid, engineered rhythm. The lowercase follows the same constructed logic, with compact apertures and sturdy joins; numerals are similarly boxy and uniform, optimized for impact rather than delicacy.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, bold headlines, sports or team-style branding, and packaging where a solid, authoritative presence is needed. It can also work for short signage and labels, especially when high contrast against the background is available to preserve the tight counters.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone that reads as industrial and utilitarian. Its compact, squared forms and hard corners evoke athletic lettering, equipment labeling, and military/transport graphics, delivering a sense of strength and authority.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, squared construction and a rugged, engineered finish. Its consistent block rhythm prioritizes bold legibility and a strong graphic stamp in titles and branding.
At text sizes the dense counters and tight apertures can darken quickly, while at display sizes the distinctive notches and squared geometry become a defining stylistic feature. The overall texture is highly uniform, producing strong headline blocks and punchy word shapes.
