A heavy, compact sans with squarish construction softened by large curves and frequent chamfered (octagonal) cuts on corners and terminals. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, and counters are relatively tight, giving the face a dense, poster-forward color. Many joins and terminals show deliberate angled clipping rather than smooth rounding, creating a sturdy, machined rhythm. The lowercase carries a prominent, chunky x-height and simple forms, while figures and capitals follow the same blunt geometry for a highly uniform, impact-first texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display use: headlines, posters, badges, and branding where thick strokes and clipped corners can carry at large sizes. It also fits packaging and labels that want a compact, high-impact voice. For longer reading, its dense counters and heavyweight texture may feel visually insistent, so it’s strongest in short bursts and titling.
The overall tone feels retro and sporty, with a bold, emblematic presence reminiscent of vintage signage, team branding, and mid-century display lettering. The clipped corners add an industrial, hard-edged attitude, while the rounded bowls keep it friendly and approachable rather than aggressive. It reads as confident and attention-grabbing, designed to project strength and immediacy.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a distinctive, engineered corner language—combining blunt geometry with generous curves to stay legible while looking characterful. The consistent stroke weight and repeated chamfer motif suggest a deliberate system built for bold messaging, signage-style clarity, and brandable silhouettes.
The sample text shows strong line-to-line density and a dark typographic color, making it most effective where presence matters more than delicate detail. The angular terminal treatment is consistent across letters and numerals, which helps maintain a cohesive texture in headlines and short blocks.
