A heavy, block-centric sans with squared proportions softened by rounded-rectangle curves. Strokes are consistently thick with tight, compact counters, while corners and joins show subtle notches and cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like texture at stress points. The rhythm is dense and punchy, with sturdy verticals, wide bowls, and a generally rectangular construction that keeps forms stable at large sizes. Numerals match the letters’ chunky, squared geometry and maintain strong, simple silhouettes.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, titles, logos, and packaging where a strong, sturdy silhouette is needed. It performs well in short bursts and large-scale display applications such as sports branding, event graphics, and signage-style layouts where compact counters and dense color help create immediate presence.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, leaning toward industrial and athletic signage aesthetics. Its squared, compressed interior spaces and deliberate corner details give it a rugged, no-nonsense voice that reads as confident and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through rectangular, superelliptic forms and tightly controlled negative space, with corner notches adding functional character reminiscent of display and sign lettering. It prioritizes bold legibility and a powerful typographic color for attention-grabbing communication.
Uppercase shapes stay highly monolithic and poster-like, while lowercase maintains the same blocky system rather than becoming more calligraphic or texty. The corner cut-ins introduce visual sparkle in large settings but also make interiors feel tighter, emphasizing impact over delicacy.
