A heavy, blocky sans with squared proportions and noticeably rounded outer corners. Strokes are broad and consistent, with counters and apertures cut as simple geometric notches and rectangles; several joins show small scooped cut-ins reminiscent of ink-trap behavior. The overall silhouette favors compact, low-detail forms with occasional angled or carved terminals (notably in letters like K, S, and Z), producing a rugged, machined look. Numerals and capitals read as sturdy display shapes, while the lowercase keeps the same chunky construction with short extenders and simplified bowls.
Best suited to headlines, posters, title cards, and branding where a strong, compact word shape is desirable. It also fits packaging, badges, and sports or game-adjacent graphics that benefit from a sturdy, industrial display voice.
The tone is bold and assertive with a playful, arcade-and-sports energy. Its chunky geometry and carved details give it an industrial, sign-paint-adjacent personality that feels both retro and utilitarian, leaning more toward impact than refinement.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that stays legible through simplified geometry while adding personality via rounded corners and carved, ink-trap-like details. It aims to deliver a bold, compact texture suitable for loud, graphic typographic statements.
Spacing in the sample text appears tight and compact, reinforcing a dense, poster-like texture. The design’s distinctive cut-ins and squared counters add character at large sizes but can visually fill in at smaller sizes or in long paragraphs.
