A heavy, block-forward sans with compact counters and a high visual density. The letterforms lean on simple geometric construction—broad curves in O/C/G and straight, sturdy stems—while terminals are clean and abrupt. Proportions feel slightly tight in the bowls and apertures (notably in e, a, s), which increases impact at display sizes. Numerals are robust and straightforward, with simple, open forms and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where strong silhouettes carry the message. It also works well for sports or industrial-flavored branding and for emphasis in UI or editorial layouts when used sparingly at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as contemporary and workmanlike. Its compact shapes and dense strokes give it a confident, poster-ready energy that can feel sporty or industrial depending on color and layout.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with minimal stylistic distraction: sturdy shapes, compact counters, and clean terminals optimized for attention-grabbing display typography.
The alphabet shows a mix of rounded and squared decisions (e.g., round O with more rectilinear joins elsewhere), creating an intentionally utilitarian rhythm rather than a soft, friendly one. The design favors solid silhouettes over generous internal whitespace, which helps in bold headlines but can reduce clarity at very small sizes.
