A heavy, compact sans with broad proportions and rounded outer curves. Strokes are thick with noticeable modulation, producing sculpted counters and a slightly engraved feel at joins and tight interiors. Terminals are mostly blunt, with subtle notches and pinches where bowls meet stems, creating ink-trap-like pockets that help keep counters open at large sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-storey forms and a strong vertical emphasis; numerals are wide and weighty with generous interior shapes.
Best suited to large-scale applications where its mass and carved-in detailing can be appreciated: headlines, posters, signage, and bold branding systems. It can also work for short UI labels or packaging callouts when strong emphasis and quick recognition are needed, but will feel heavy for extended reading.
The overall tone is bold and assertive while staying approachable due to the rounded geometry and open counters. It evokes classic sports and headline typography with a retro, poster-ready energy that reads as direct and energetic rather than refined.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with controlled counters and join shaping that maintains clarity at heavy weight. Its proportions and rounded construction suggest an intention to balance strength and friendliness for contemporary display and branding contexts with a retro edge.
Spacing appears tight and efficient in text, forming dense, dark paragraphs with strong rhythm. The design’s small notches and interior shaping add visual texture in display settings, especially in letters with bowls and diagonals.
