A heavy, condensed sans with a compact footprint and broadly squared, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are monolinear in feel, but many joins and terminals show deliberate notches and small cut-ins, creating a subtly stencil-like texture and improving separation in tight counters. Round letters such as C, G, O, and Q read as rounded rectangles, while verticals dominate the rhythm for a tall, impactful silhouette. Lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with single-story a and g, short ascenders, and dense internal spaces that stay open due to the cut details.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports identities, packaging marks, and bold signage. It can also work for badges, labels, and UI headers where a condensed, commanding voice is needed, but it is less ideal for long-form reading due to its dense, display-driven construction.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking industrial labeling, athletic branding, and retro display typography. The notched detailing adds a rugged, slightly mechanical character that feels utilitarian rather than delicate.
Likely designed as a space-efficient display face that maximizes impact in narrow widths while maintaining legibility through squared curves and strategic cut-ins. The notched terminals appear intended to add character and prevent counters from clogging in heavy strokes.
The design relies on strong vertical emphasis and compact apertures, which gives it excellent punch at large sizes. The intentional cut-ins can create a textured edge in solid color, so it benefits from clean rendering and sufficient size to keep the interior shapes crisp.
