A bold-leaning, squared sans with rounded-rectangle bowls and a slightly modular construction. Strokes show clear contrast, with sturdy verticals and lighter horizontals and joins that keep counters open despite the heavy presence. Terminals are mostly flat and crisp, and curves tend to resolve into chamfered or squared forms rather than fully circular shapes. The overall rhythm is punchy and tightly built, with broad capitals and robust numerals that emphasize strong silhouettes over delicate detail.
Best suited to display typography where strong silhouettes matter: headlines, posters, product branding, and packaging. It also fits sports and tech-adjacent graphics such as team identities, equipment labels, UI headings, and promotional collateral where a compact, assertive tone is desirable.
The font projects an industrial, athletic tone—confident and engineered, with a subtle retro flavor reminiscent of scoreboard and equipment labeling. Its squared geometry and contrast lend a technical, no-nonsense voice that reads as modern but not sterile, making it feel energetic and purposeful.
The design appears intended to combine the clarity of a sans with a squared, engineered geometry and noticeable stroke modulation, creating a distinctive display voice that remains legible in short passages. It prioritizes bold presence, crisp edges, and recognizable shapes that reproduce cleanly in branding contexts.
Uppercase forms are particularly dominant and uniform, while lowercase keeps a compact, utilitarian feel. The numerals are heavy and high-impact, designed to hold their shape at display sizes. The family’s squared curves and flat terminals create a consistent “machined” texture across words, especially in all-caps settings.
