A heavy, block-structured sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes stay predominantly monoline in feel, with sharp, flat terminals and occasional notched joins that create a stamped, cut-out look. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and corners rather than true circles, giving letters like O, C, G, and Q a compact, machined geometry. The lowercase is robust and chunky with a notably tall x-height, short extenders, and dense internal space, producing strong texture in text. Figures and capitals are similarly squared and sturdy, maintaining consistent weight and a bold, poster-forward rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where the squared-rounded silhouette can be read at a glance. It also fits sports and industrial-themed graphics, labels, and signage, particularly when set with generous size and breathing room.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial edge reminiscent of stenciled signage and vintage display lettering. Its squared rounding and compact counters give it a mechanical, no-nonsense personality that reads as confident and attention-seeking.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, engineered silhouette—combining rounded-rectangle forms with hard terminals for a tough, contemporary-retro display voice. Its tall lowercase and dense construction suggest an aim for strong presence in short phrases and titles rather than delicate text settings.
In longer samples, the dense apertures and narrow internal spaces amplify darkness and create a strong typographic color, especially where letters stack closely (e.g., in all-caps lines). The distinctive angular shaping and occasional cut-in details add character at large sizes, while the compact counters can reduce clarity if set too small or too tightly tracked.
