A heavy, block-built display sans with broad proportions and tightly controlled apertures. Strokes are mostly monolinear in feel but show selective thick–thin modulation through carved notches, stepped joins, and inset counters that create a chiseled, mechanical rhythm. Curves are present but simplified into rounded-rect forms, with squared terminals and crisp interior corners that keep the silhouette dense and punchy. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s architecture, with a large x-height, compact bowls, and strongly geometric construction that favors bold, flat shapes over delicate detail.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where maximum impact and a distinctive, engineered texture are desirable. It works especially well for sports identities, event graphics, product packaging, and bold signage where letterforms need to stay recognizable under strong weight and tight internal spacing.
The font projects an industrial, workmanlike confidence with a sporty, headline-forward energy. Its cut-in shapes and squared massing evoke stenciled signage and vintage athletic lettering, giving text a tough, utilitarian tone that feels designed to command attention.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact sans with a carved, mechanical personality—combining simple geometric bases with inset cuts and stepped transitions to create a distinctive texture without relying on ornament or serifs.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and boxed counters produce a distinctive texture that holds together well at large sizes, while the tightened interior spaces and angular notches make it visually busy for long reading. Numerals follow the same rugged, carved styling, matching the alphabet’s dense color and assertive presence.
