A heavy, geometric sans with compact proportions and strongly filled counters that give it a dense, ink-rich texture. Curves are broadly rounded and smooth, while joins and terminals stay blunt and squared-off, producing a sturdy, blocky silhouette. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, and generally tight internal spaces that reinforce the bold, poster-like rhythm. Numerals are similarly robust, with simple, open shapes and a consistent stroke presence across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where weight and presence are desirable. It also fits sports branding, bold packaging labels, and straightforward signage that needs immediate legibility and strong visual emphasis.
The overall tone is loud and direct, with a no-nonsense confidence that reads as sporty and industrial. Its chunky forms feel energetic and modern, aiming for impact over subtlety.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that stays simple and geometric, prioritizing bold clarity and a compact, powerful texture across letters and numerals.
At larger sizes the rounded geometry and evenness across straight and curved strokes become especially apparent, while at smaller sizes the tight counters can make text look very dark and compact. The broad, uniform letterforms create a consistent color in headlines and short lines.
