A heavy, compact sans with squarish proportions softened by broad rounding at corners and terminals. Strokes are thick with subtle contrast, and counters are generously open, giving the shapes a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and simplified forms (single-storey a and g), while punctuation and numerals follow the same blocky, high-impact construction with rounded joins and stable verticals.
Best suited for display work where impact matters: posters, headlines, sports identities, bold packaging, and wayfinding or storefront signage. It can work for short UI labels or badges when you want a strong voice, but its weight and compact rhythm make it less ideal for long-form text.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a friendly edge from the rounded shaping. It reads as energetic and slightly retro, like athletic or industrial signage, while still feeling approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with clean, sans construction, balancing blunt, industrial geometry with rounded details to keep the tone approachable. Its proportions and high x-height support quick recognition in bold, attention-grabbing settings.
Diagonal letters (K, V, W, X, Y) use chunky arms and tightly controlled angles, keeping texture consistent in all-caps settings. The numerals are wide and sturdy, designed to hold their shape at large sizes and in high-contrast applications.
