A heavy, block-forward sans with broad proportions and a compact, tightly packed feel. Counters are rounded and somewhat closed, giving letters a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette at large sizes. Curves tend toward squarish rounding, while joins and terminals read as cut, decisive strokes rather than tapered ones. The overall texture is dark and uniform, with minimal internal white space and strong horizontal emphasis.
Best suited for large-format settings where maximum impact and quick recognition are needed, such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, and sports or esports identities. It also works well for bold packaging and short, high-contrast signage, where its dense counters and sturdy shapes hold attention.
The font projects confidence and impact, leaning toward a utilitarian, engineered tone. Its dense shapes and wide stance feel loud and attention-grabbing, suggesting speed, strength, and no-nonsense messaging rather than delicacy or warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, contemporary display voice with a wide, powerful footprint and simplified letterforms. The emphasis appears to be on bold readability and brand presence in short text, creating an unmistakably heavy, modern silhouette.
Uppercase forms stay simple and sign-like, while lowercase shows single-storey a and g and a short, stout r, reinforcing a contemporary, geometric voice. The figures are similarly broad and bold, with rounded bowls on 0/6/8/9 and angular construction on 4/7 that keeps the set punchy and cohesive.
