A heavy, block-built sans with mostly squared geometry softened by rounded outer corners. Counters are compact and often rectangular, with tight apertures that create a dense, poster-like texture. Strokes show modest modulation in places and several joins terminate in small notch-like cut-ins, giving an engineered, ink-trap-adjacent feel. Uppercase forms are broad-shouldered and sturdy; lowercase is simplified and utilitarian with single-storey shapes and sturdy stems, keeping overall rhythm compact and impact-focused.
Best suited to display settings where high impact and compact word shapes are desirable—headlines, posters, sports or team identities, bold packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It can work for short subheads and callouts, but the dense interiors suggest avoiding long passages of small text.
The tone is loud and functional, projecting strength and urgency rather than subtlety. Its squared silhouettes and tight openings evoke industrial labeling, athletic branding, and retro display typography, with a slightly mechanical edge that reads confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a controlled, square-based construction, combining softened corners for friendliness with tight openings and engineered joins for authority. It aims to read quickly at a distance and hold its own against strong imagery and high-contrast layouts.
At text sizes the tight counters and narrow apertures can close up, while at larger sizes the distinctive notches, squared bowls, and robust diagonals become defining character. Numerals match the same solid, rectangular logic and feel optimized for headline emphasis.
