A heavy, block-built sans with squared counters and generously rounded corners, giving many letters a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) footprint. Strokes stay rigid and straight with minimal modulation, and joins are mostly orthogonal, producing a crisp, engineered rhythm. Apertures are tight and counters are small for the weight, while terminals are blunt and consistently finished. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s compact geometry, with a single-storey a and strong, rectangular bowls; figures follow the same condensed interior spaces and squared shaping.
Best suited to headlines and short, punchy settings where its dense geometry and tight counters can read as a deliberate style. It works well for sports branding, event posters, labels/packaging, and bold signage where a compact, industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a hint of retro display lettering. Its dense forms and squared rounding feel industrial and sport-adjacent—confident, tough, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual punch through compact, squared construction softened by rounded corners. The notch-like detailing suggests an intention to add character and improve differentiation in heavy forms, while keeping an overall clean, modern sans framework.
The design relies on deliberate ink traps or notch-like cut-ins in several shapes, creating a subtle stencil/slot effect that adds texture at large sizes. Spacing appears sturdy and even in the sample text, supporting bold headlines while keeping a consistent, monolithic color on the page.
