A heavy, blocky sans with compact counters, broad shoulders, and rounded exterior curves that keep the dense weight from feeling brittle. Many joins show small notches and cut-ins, creating a subtle “ink-trap” effect and giving strokes a carved, machined character. The forms lean on squared terminals and flat tops, while round letters (C, O, S) stay generously circular with tight apertures; overall spacing feels sturdy and headline-forward, with widths varying noticeably across letters for a lively rhythm.
Best suited to bold display settings such as posters, big headlines, logo wordmarks, and packaging where the sculpted joints can be appreciated. It can also work for attention-grabbing UI labels or signage, provided sizes are large enough to keep the tight counters and notches from filling in.
The tone is loud and confident, with a punchy, poster-ready presence. The angular nicks and chunky silhouettes add a playful, workwear-meets-sports flavor that reads as energetic rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a distinctive, engineered texture—using notched joins and compact apertures to create a recognizable silhouette and a rugged, contemporary display voice.
Distinctive wedge-like cutouts appear at several internal corners and joints, especially in letters with bowls and diagonals, producing a crisp, stamped look at large sizes. Counters are small relative to the heavy strokes, so the face reads best when given room and contrast against its background.
