A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle curves and broadly squared counters. Strokes stay consistently thick, with corners softened into superelliptic arcs and flat terminals that keep the silhouette compact. Many forms include small internal cut-ins and notches that create a quasi-stencil texture while preserving closed counters. Widths vary by glyph, but the overall rhythm stays dense and punchy, with simple geometry and minimal modulation.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications such as posters, headlines, sports branding, packaging callouts, and signage where its dense shapes and distinctive notches can be appreciated. In smaller sizes or extended paragraphs it can feel heavy and textured, but it excels for labels, identifiers, and bold typographic statements.
The font conveys a tough, utilitarian tone—part industrial label, part athletic display. Its notched details add a technical, fabricated feel, while the rounded corners prevent it from becoming harsh. Overall it reads as confident, loud, and built for impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended as a robust display sans that merges rounded-rect geometry with stencil-inspired cut-ins to increase character and thematic cues. It prioritizes immediacy, durability, and a manufactured aesthetic over delicate detail, aiming to stay legible while looking deliberately engineered.
The squared, rounded bowls (notably in O/0 and related forms) and the frequent inset breaks can cause dark spots in longer text, making spacing and size important. Numerals match the uppercase in mass and presence, giving headings and identifiers a consistent, sign-like voice.
