A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions, flat terminals, and subtly notched corners that create a faint stencil-like feel without fully breaking strokes. Curves are tightened and slightly squarish, while counters stay relatively open for the weight, giving the letters a dense but readable texture. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, tall ascenders, and robust joins; numerals follow the same blocky geometry with strong vertical emphasis. Overall spacing and rhythm feel intentionally compressed, producing a solid, poster-ready typographic color.
Best suited to display settings where bold presence is needed: headlines, posters, event graphics, sports or team-style branding, and attention-grabbing labels. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when you want a rugged, industrial voice, but it’s less ideal for long text passages.
The tone is tough and workmanlike, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage, team graphics, and stamped labeling. It reads confident and no-nonsense, prioritizing impact and clarity over refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using blocky geometry and distinctive corner notches to stay recognizable while remaining straightforward and functional.
The design leans on repeated rectangular motifs and consistent stroke endings, which helps headlines feel cohesive. The slight corner cut-ins add character at large sizes but may visually fill in at very small sizes due to the extreme weight.
