A heavy, wide sans with rounded-corner geometry and compact, squared-off curves. Many letters show inset, horizontal cut-ins that create a layered or partially-stenciled look in the bowls and counters, giving forms like B, E, S, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 9 a distinctive internal notch. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with large counters in round characters (O, Q, 0) and a consistently tall lowercase structure; the single-storey a and g keep the texture simple and uniform. Overall spacing feels sturdy and headline-oriented, with crisp terminals and a steady, engineered rhythm across the set.
Best suited to bold display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and packaging where the inset detailing can be appreciated. It also fits sports, automotive, tech, and industrial-themed graphics that benefit from a strong, engineered presence.
The font reads confident and assertive, with a sporty, industrial edge. The inset cuts add a technical, fabricated feel—like machined lettering or molded branding—while the rounded construction keeps it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended as a high-impact display sans that differentiates itself through internal cut-ins, combining rounded, contemporary proportions with a mechanical, fabricated motif for branding-forward typography.
The notched/inset treatment is a primary signature and becomes especially noticeable in numerals and curved letters, where it adds motion and a sense of speed. The lowercase maintains a solid, compact color that stays highly legible at larger sizes.
