A heavy, block-constructed sans with squarish bowls and softened corners. Strokes are thick with visible modulation, most apparent where horizontal and vertical joins create stepped, cut-in counters. The forms feel engineered: wide proportions, flat terminals, and compact apertures give letters a dense, solid silhouette. Curves are generally squarified (notably in O/C/G) and many glyphs show intentional notch-like shaping and undercuts that add a slightly mechanical rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited to headlines and display typography where its dense shapes and notched detailing can read as intentional character. It works well for sports branding, industrial or tech-themed graphics, bold packaging, and short signage-style phrases, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is loud and assertive, with a sporty, industrial energy. Its chunky geometry and squared curves suggest a retro-tech sensibility—confident and utilitarian rather than delicate or literary.
Likely designed as an impact-oriented display face that blends squared geometry with subtle stroke modulation to add texture and identity. The notched counters and compact apertures appear intended to create a distinctive, rugged voice while remaining broadly sans and highly legible in big type.
The design maintains a consistent, modular feel between uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with single-storey shapes in the lowercase and simplified, sign-like numerals. The tight interior spaces and strong massing make it most effective when given room to breathe in larger settings.
