A heavy, compact display sans with squared contours and rounded joins, built from broad vertical strokes and sharply cut horizontals. Many glyphs show wedge-like cuts and beak terminals (notably in S, C, and G), creating a punchy, carved look while keeping counters fairly open for the weight. Uppercase forms are wide and stable with a strong baseline presence, while lowercase includes single-storey a and g and a robust, straight-sided construction. Figures are similarly chunky and geometric, with simplified curves and firm corners that read clearly at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and other large-format applications where strong silhouettes and high visual weight are desired. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a bold, slightly retro-industrial voice, and for sports or event graphics where immediacy and punch are key.
The overall tone is assertive and attention-grabbing, with a retro poster and athletic headline energy. The sharp cuts and heavy massing add a slightly industrial, stamped character that feels bold and unapologetic rather than refined.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in short lines of text, combining a clean sans foundation with sculpted cuts to add character and motion. The goal appears to be a distinctive, high-impact display face that stays legible while projecting strength and energy.
Stroke endings often resolve with angled cuts that create a rhythmic, chiseled texture across words, especially in running text samples. The large, circular i/j dots and the sturdy, rectangular stems contribute to a strong, graphic silhouette that prioritizes impact over delicacy.
