A heavy, display-oriented sans with broad proportions and carved-looking counters. Strokes are predominantly straight and blocky, but many joins and terminals are softened by rounding and subtle flare, creating a cut-in, stencil-like feel in letters such as O, Q, S, and G. The contrast reads as sculpted negative space rather than calligraphic stress, with rectangular apertures and deep notches giving the forms a punched, industrial rhythm. Lowercase is compact with a tall x-height, short ascenders, and single-storey a and g; dots are rounded and the overall spacing appears tight and dense in text.
Best suited for large-scale typography such as headlines, event posters, brand marks, and packaging where its carved counters and weight can read clearly. It also fits signage-style applications and bold editorial callouts. For long passages of body text, the tight spacing and complex interior shaping may be visually heavy.
The font projects a bold, retro display tone with a muscular, poster-friendly presence. Its sculpted counters and notched details add a playful, slightly theatrical character that feels at home in attention-grabbing headlines. The overall impression is energetic and confident, with a hint of vintage signage and sports branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in display settings by combining broad, blocky silhouettes with sculpted internal cut-ins for added character. The tall lowercase and compact extenders suggest an aim for dense, high-coverage word shapes that maintain presence across short lines of text.
Round letters show distinctive internal cutouts (notably O/0) and the S has pronounced tapered notches that create strong black-white patterning at large sizes. Numerals follow the same carved motif, with especially decorative curves on 2, 3, 5, and 9. At smaller sizes the dense interior shapes may fill in visually, favoring larger setting sizes.
