A compact, heavy sans with a rounded-rectangle construction and generously softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, creating a sturdy, poster-ready texture. Counters are relatively small and often squared-off, and several joins show notch-like cut-ins that read like ink-trap detailing. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and terminals, giving letters a machined, molded feel while keeping edges crisp and controlled.
Best suited to display applications where solid, high-impact letterforms are needed—headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and bold labels. It also fits sports and tech-adjacent graphics where a rugged, rounded-geometric voice helps type remain legible and distinctive in short bursts.
The overall tone feels bold and utilitarian, with a clear retro-industrial and athletic headline energy. Its rounded geometry keeps it approachable, while the notched joins add a technical, engineered attitude that reads confident and punchy at display sizes.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence with simple, geometric construction: a heavy sans optimized for quick recognition, strong silhouettes, and a controlled, rounded-rect aesthetic. The notched joins suggest an intention to keep forms crisp and readable when printed large and tight.
Spacing appears built for impact: wide, dark shapes and tight interior space create strong word silhouettes. The uppercase is especially block-forward and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains the same chunky rhythm with simple, sturdy forms.
