A heavy, compact sans with high-contrast strokes and sharply cut terminals. Curves are broad and geometric, while joins and corners are decisively chiseled, creating small triangular notches that read like ink-trap details at interior corners. The overall rhythm is dense and steady, with wide counters kept open enough for display clarity; rounds like O and C feel sturdy and slightly squared in their tension. Numerals are bold and simple, matching the sturdy, poster-oriented texture of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, signage, posters, and impactful branding where a dense, attention-grabbing texture is desired. It can also work well for packaging and short emphasis text, especially where a bold, retro or sporty voice helps carry the message.
The tone is loud and confident, with a retro-leaning, poster and sports-headline energy. Its crisp cuts and chunky forms give it a spirited, slightly playful edge while still feeling direct and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact at display sizes through compact proportions, high stroke contrast, and distinctive cut-in detailing that keeps counters and joins from clogging. The result is a bold, characterful sans that reads quickly and holds up in large, dark settings.
Distinctive wedge-like cuts appear on several letters and at curve-to-stem transitions, adding character and improving separation in tight, dark text. The look stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing a strong, uniform color in big settings.
