A heavy, blocky sans with monoline strokes and a squared-off, geometric construction. Corners are broadly rounded while many counters and internal cut-ins stay rectilinear, creating a distinctive mix of soft exterior and hard interior shapes. Curves tend toward squarish rounds (notably in O, C, and G), and several letters use notched or inset joins that give the forms a machined, modular feel. Lowercase echoes the uppercase with chunky bowls and short terminals, maintaining a tight, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence is required, such as headlines, posters, athletic or team-inspired branding, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can work for short UI labels or badges when space is limited, but its dense forms are most comfortable at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian with a retro-industrial flavor. Its chunky geometry and softened corners feel confident and friendly, while the angular insets add a technical, engineered edge. The result reads as energetic and attention-grabbing rather than neutral or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a distinctive geometric voice—combining rounded outer corners for approachability with squared counters and notches for a fabricated, industrial character. It prioritizes bold identity and recognizability in big type over subtlety in long-form reading.
The design emphasizes clear silhouettes and strong negative shapes; counters are often squarish and relatively small, which boosts impact at display sizes. The figures follow the same block system, with squared inner shapes and sturdy proportions that visually match the caps.
