A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are massive and emphatically vertical, with tight counters and compact apertures that create strong black shapes at text and display sizes. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and softened corners rather than true circles, giving O/C/G/Q an engineered, superelliptical feel. Several joins and internal corners show small cut-ins that read like subtle ink-trap behavior, adding crispness and keeping dense areas from clogging.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and short statements where maximum impact and strong silhouette matter. It works well for sports identities, bold brand marks, packaging, and large-format signage where its squared-round geometry stays clear and consistent. For longer passages, its tight counters and dense texture will feel intentionally heavy and attention-grabbing rather than neutral.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, poster-ready punch. Its squared curves and compressed openings suggest machinery, signage, and team branding—confident, loud, and slightly retro in spirit.
This design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact texture using rounded-rectangle geometry and minimal openings, prioritizing silhouette strength and visual authority. The small corner cut-ins likely aim to preserve clarity in dense joins while keeping the overall form language rigid and industrial.
Lowercase forms keep a sturdy, single-storey simplicity where applicable, with short ascenders/descenders and a solid, slabby rhythm. Numerals are equally weighty and built for impact, with closed shapes and strong horizontal cuts that maintain consistency with the letterforms.
