A heavy, block-built display sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes are predominantly vertical and horizontal with sharp, engineered joins, while many letters show deliberate cut-ins and narrow apertures that create a punchy, high-impact silhouette. Curves are broad and superelliptical rather than circular, and the overall rhythm alternates between wide, slab-like forms and more compact shapes, producing a strong, poster-oriented texture. Numerals and caps follow the same rugged, geometric logic, with minimal interior space and pronounced weight distribution.
Best suited for short, bold settings such as headlines, poster typography, signage, and impact-driven packaging. It can also work well for sports branding and merchandise where strong silhouettes and compact spacing help maintain presence at distance.
The tone is bold and commanding, with an industrial, retro flavor that reads as utilitarian and assertive. The squared curves and notched details add a stamped or machined character, giving it a confident, team-identity energy suited to attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a geometric, rounded-rectangular skeleton, while using notched apertures and tight counters to add character and differentiation. Overall it prioritizes loud, graphic readability and a distinctive industrial voice over delicate detail or extended text comfort.
The dense counters and narrow openings can fill in visually at smaller sizes, so it reads best when given room and used with generous tracking. The distinctive cut-in details become a key identifying feature in text, creating a recognizable, slightly rugged texture across lines.
