A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle curves and strongly simplified geometry. Strokes are thick and uniform, with squared terminals and subtly softened corners that keep counters from collapsing at large weights. Many joins show small internal notches and cut-ins that read as ink-trap or stencil-like detailing, creating a distinctive rhythm in letters like E, S, and the diagonals. Spacing is tight and the overall silhouette is tall and condensed, with sturdy, rectangular proportions across both uppercase and lowercase; numerals follow the same dense, block-forward construction.
Best suited to display typography where high impact and tight footprints are needed—posters, headlines, sports and event branding, packaging fronts, and bold wayfinding or signage. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense weight and interior cut-ins may feel heavy for extended small-size text.
The tone is forceful and workmanlike, combining a retro display feel with a functional, engineered attitude. The small cut-ins add a rugged, manufactured character that suggests signage, equipment labeling, and bold editorial punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed width while preserving legibility through rounded-rectangular counters and strategic internal cut-ins. The consistent, blocky construction suggests a focus on strong silhouette, compact set width, and an industrial display voice.
Lowercase forms echo the uppercase’s compact build, helping maintain a consistent texture in mixed-case settings. The internal cuts are visually prominent at display sizes and become a defining texture when set in longer lines, so the face reads best when the chunky shapes and notches have room to show.
