A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions and softly rounded outer corners. Strokes are thick and mostly uniform in mass, with selective thinning and cut-ins that create a subtly contrasted, machined look. Counters are compact and rectangular, apertures are tight, and many joins terminate in crisp, angled notches that read as purposeful incisions rather than organic curves. The overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with sturdy caps, compact lowercase, and numerals that echo the same geometric, hard-edged construction.
Best suited for bold display settings such as posters, titles, sports and team identities, product packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation when used at larger sizes where the tight counters and cut-in details stay clear.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian confidence with a sporty, industrial edge. Its cut-in details and squarish curves evoke signage, equipment labeling, and retro technical graphics, giving text an energetic, no-nonsense tone.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a compact, engineered geometry—combining squared forms, softened corners, and deliberate notches to create a strong, contemporary-retro display presence that remains highly legible in short bursts.
Several glyphs use inset corners and small internal rectangles that can resemble stencil breaks at smaller sizes, while remaining clearly connected shapes. The uppercase is especially commanding and uniform, and the numerals match the letterforms closely, reinforcing a cohesive display voice across alphanumerics.
