A heavy, block-built sans with squared silhouettes and noticeably rounded corners, giving many letters a soft-rectangular (superelliptical) feel. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight interior counters and crisp horizontal terminals. Curves tend to resolve into flattened arcs rather than fully circular bowls, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) appear cut with broad, straight facets. Several glyphs show small breaks and notch-like cut-ins around joins and apertures, creating a subtly segmented, stencil-adjacent texture without becoming fully open.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, big headlines, sports or team branding, and bold packaging statements. The compact counters and dense color make it particularly effective when set large, where its rounded-rect geometry and cut-in details read clearly.
The overall tone is loud, rugged, and energetic—more “impact headline” than neutral text. Its squared, rounded-rectangle construction reads industrial and sporty, while the small cut details add a hint of retro display character and mechanical toughness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a controlled, rounded-square construction, balancing toughness with friendly corner radii. The notch and break details suggest a deliberate effort to add texture and distinction for display use, especially in branding and punchy editorial titling.
In running text the dense black mass and tight counters create a strong, poster-like rhythm, with letterforms staying highly legible at large sizes but quickly becoming compact and dark in smaller settings. Figures are similarly blocky and squared, matching the alphabet’s strong, utilitarian geometry.
