A heavy, compact display sans with squared geometry and softened corners. Strokes show pronounced contrast between thick verticals and thinner joins, creating a carved, ink-trap-like feel at tight interior corners. Counters are narrow and rectangular-to-oval, apertures are relatively closed, and curves are squared off rather than fully round. Terminals are blunt and flat, producing strong, even vertical rhythm and a dense text color.
Best suited to large-size applications where impact matters: headlines, posters, and signage. The dense, contrasted construction also works well for sports branding, bold packaging labels, and attention-grabbing UI or promo banners when used sparingly.
The tone is forceful and functional, with an industrial, vintage poster energy. Its compressed shapes and sharp interior notches give it a tough, no-nonsense voice that reads as athletic and headline-driven rather than conversational.
Likely designed to deliver maximum punch in short lines by combining condensed proportions with a chiseled, high-contrast construction. The ink-trap-like interior shaping suggests an intention to keep counters readable while maintaining a tightly packed, heavyweight look.
Uppercase forms feel especially compact with tall vertical emphasis, while lowercase echoes the same squarish construction for consistent texture. Numerals are sturdy and angular, matching the uppercase’s blocky cadence and supporting strong figure callouts.
