A heavy, compact sans with broad, sculpted letterforms and subtly rounded corners. Strokes are predominantly thick with noticeable modulation, especially where curves meet verticals, giving counters and bowls a carved, inked-in feel rather than purely geometric construction. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared, and many shapes (C, G, S, 2, 3) show slightly softened curvature that keeps the texture from feeling rigid. The overall rhythm is dense and steady, with strong vertical emphasis and clear, open interiors that help maintain legibility at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, titles, and bold brand marks. It also works well on packaging and signage where strong presence and quick recognition matter more than long-form reading comfort.
The font conveys a bold, confident tone with a utilitarian, poster-like presence. Its weight and compact proportions read as energetic and commanding, suggesting vintage signage and athletic or industrial branding rather than delicate editorial typography.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact with a compact, dependable texture: a strong display sans that borrows some sculptural modulation to add character while staying straightforward and highly legible at larger sizes.
Uppercase forms are especially sturdy and uniform, while lowercase retains a similarly blocky silhouette with simple, sturdy joins. Numerals are wide and attention-grabbing, with rounded bowls and firm terminals that match the uppercase’s visual gravity.
