A heavy, geometric sans built from squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle counters, with frequent chamfered corners that create an octagonal rhythm. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing compact, high-impact word shapes with minimal modulation. The capitals feel engineered and tightly fit, while the lowercase keeps simple construction with single-storey forms (notably a and g) and sturdy verticals. Numerals follow the same cut-corner logic, with the zero featuring a diagonal slash for quick differentiation.
Best suited to display sizes where its compact heft and chamfered geometry can read as a deliberate style choice—headlines, posters, brand marks, and sports or team-style graphics. It can also work well for short UI labels, wayfinding, and packaging where bold, quick recognition is important.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling and athletic graphics. Its cut-corner geometry gives it a technical, machined character, while the soft-rectangular curves keep it approachable rather than sharp.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a controlled geometric system—rounded-rectangle construction paired with cut corners to suggest precision and durability. It prioritizes legibility and strong presence over delicacy, aiming for a rugged, contemporary display voice.
The design emphasizes clear silhouettes and strong internal negative space, especially in round letters like O, Q, and 0. Diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are broad and stable, contributing to a grounded texture in all-caps settings.
