A heavy, block-oriented sans with forms built from rounded rectangles and squared curves. Strokes are dense and largely uniform, with tight internal counters and abrupt terminals softened by consistent corner rounding. The shapes favor flat tops and bottoms, wide shoulders, and compact apertures, producing a rhythmic, slightly compressed interior space even when set large. Diagonals are simplified and sturdy, and punctuation and numerals follow the same squared, cut-in construction for a cohesive, utilitarian texture.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and bold packaging fronts where impact and immediacy matter. It also works well for signage, sports/event graphics, and short UI labels when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking to preserve counter clarity.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, sporty energy. Its squared, machined contours evoke workwear labeling, stadium graphics, and rugged product branding, leaning slightly retro while remaining clean and contemporary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through compact, rounded-rect geometry and highly simplified joins, prioritizing bold legibility and a rugged, engineered feel in display settings.
Distinctive cut-ins and notches appear in several letters, creating a subtly stencil-like flavor without breaking the silhouettes into separate parts. The strong, dark color can cause counters to close up at small sizes, so it reads most confidently when given generous size and spacing.
