A heavy, compact sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with broadly squared counters and softened corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and many joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that sharpen the silhouette and help keep apertures open at display sizes. Curves resolve into flat-ish terminals and squared bowls, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase is large and robust, with simple, single-storey forms and short, efficient extenders; numerals follow the same squared, punchy construction with open interior shapes.
Best suited to headlines and short messaging where a strong, compact voice is needed—posters, branding, packaging, and athletic or industrial-themed graphics. It can also work for punchy UI labels or signage when used at sizes large enough to preserve its interior openings.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a utilitarian, machined character that reads as sporty and slightly retro. Its rounded corners keep it friendly, while the notched joins add edge and a sense of toughness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a dense, squared-and-rounded construction, balancing friendliness from softened corners with rugged clarity from carved joins. It aims for a contemporary display look that nods to industrial and sports lettering traditions.
The texture is dense and dark, creating strong word shapes and high impact. Round letters (like O/C/G/Q) lean toward squarish forms, and several glyphs show purposeful corner carving that adds distinctiveness without becoming decorative.
