A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broad proportions. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, with softened corners that keep forms friendly despite the mass. Strokes stay uniform and dense, terminals are blunt, and curves resolve into squarish bowls rather than true circles. Spacing and rhythm feel tight and forceful, producing strong silhouettes and high impact in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format messaging where dense black shapes and blunt geometry can carry a layout. It works well for sports branding, bold packaging, and logo wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, rounded-industrial voice. For longer passages, its tight counters and heavy texture are likely most comfortable at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is loud, confident, and utilitarian, with a sporty, poster-like energy. Rounded corners add a slightly playful edge, while the compact counters and sturdy outlines keep it feeling industrial and tough. It reads as attention-grabbing and bold without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact counters, broad stance, and rounded-rectilinear shapes that stay consistent across the character set. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a uniform, blocky rhythm for display use where immediacy and presence matter.
The lowercase shows simplified, single-storey constructions and short extenders, reinforcing a compact, headline-oriented texture. Numerals follow the same squared, rounded logic and appear designed for consistency at large sizes where the chunky counters and tight joins become a defining feature.
