A heavy, block-constructed sans with squared proportions and crisp, straight edges. Curves are minimized and when present are built from large-radius segments that read as chamfered or notched geometry, giving many letters a cut-in, stencil-like feel. Counters tend to be rectangular or tightly rounded-rect, with sturdy crossbars and terminals that often finish as flat slabs. The overall rhythm is compact and punchy, with slightly irregular internal shaping across glyphs that adds a customized, display-driven texture rather than a purely neutral grotesk tone.
Best suited to display settings where impact and quick recognition matter: headlines, posters, apparel or sports branding, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It holds up well at larger sizes where the internal cut-ins and angular detailing can be appreciated; for long passages of small text, the dense forms may feel heavy and busy.
The face projects a rugged, engineered voice—bold, sporty, and slightly futuristic. Its hard corners and notched detailing evoke machinery, arcade/tech aesthetics, and team-mark lettering, while the dense black shapes lend a commanding, poster-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight with a geometric, industrial flavor—combining sturdy block shapes with deliberate corner cuts to create a distinctive, high-energy display sans for branding and titling.
Distinctive cutaways and corner treatments create strong silhouette recognition, especially in letters like G, S, J, and the diagonals of V/W/X. The numerals follow the same squared logic, staying wide and stable with prominent straight segments and compact counters.
