A heavy, block-built sans with wide proportions, softened corners, and frequent chamfered cuts that carve sharp facets into otherwise rounded forms. Counters are small and often rectangular, giving letters a compressed, cut-out look, while vertical stems stay stout and steady. Many glyphs show deliberate notches and tapered joins that suggest an ink-trap or stencil-adjacent construction, producing a rugged texture at large sizes and a tight, dark rhythm in text. Numerals match the same chunky geometry, with angular terminals and compact interior spaces.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and branding where strong presence and instant legibility at large sizes are priorities. It can work well for sports identities, product packaging, badges, and signage-style graphics where the geometric, faceted forms add character.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial confidence. Its faceted cuts and dense silhouettes evoke retro signage and team branding—bold, loud, and built for impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a rugged, engineered feel—combining broad, blocky silhouettes with purposeful cuts that add texture and identity while preserving straightforward sans construction.
In the sample text, the dense fill and tight counters make word shapes feel weighty and highly graphic; spacing and interior apertures can appear cramped in longer passages. The distinctive cuts and corner treatments create a consistent, recognizable voice across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
