A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly chamfered corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with tight interior counters and compact apertures that create a dense, poster-like color on the page. Many joins and terminals show subtle angled cuts that add a slightly mechanical, almost stencil-like flavor without breaking continuity. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and superelliptical forms, giving the alphabet a rugged, engineered rhythm rather than a geometric-perfect smoothness.
Best suited to large-size applications where its dense weight and tight counters remain clear: headlines, posters, labels/packaging, and logo or team-style wordmarks. It can also work for short signage copy or UI headers where a compact, high-impact voice is desired, but it’s less ideal for long text at small sizes due to the closed apertures and heavy overall color.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial confidence. Its squared rounding and cut terminals evoke retro display lettering—somewhere between athletic branding, arcade-era signage, and workwear labels—while staying clean enough to feel contemporary when used large.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with minimal detail: a robust, rounded-rectangular skeleton paired with slightly cut terminals to add grit and motion. The result prioritizes presence and quick recognition, aiming for bold display settings that feel functional and energetic.
The figures are wide and sturdy, with closed shapes and small counters that emphasize solidity. Uppercase forms read especially compact and forceful; lowercase maintains the same chunky logic, with short ascenders/descenders and rounded, rectangular bowls that keep texture consistent across mixed-case settings.
