A heavy, block-built sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) forms and tightly managed counters. Strokes are monolinear in feel, with broad, flat terminals and softened outer corners that keep the color even despite the extreme weight. Many shapes lean on squared bowls and rectangular apertures (notably in C/G/S and the numerals), while joins and notches create a slightly cut-in, almost stencil-like rhythm. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with a tall x-height and minimal differentiation between similar vertical stems, producing dense, poster-friendly texture.
This font performs best where bold impact is required: posters, large headlines, sports and team-style branding, product packaging, and promotional graphics. Its dense texture and squared apertures also suit short UI banners or badges when set with generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and mechanical, with a sporty, headline-driven energy. Rounded corners soften the aggression just enough to feel friendly and retro-industrial rather than brutalist, suggesting utility, impact, and motion.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a geometric, rounded-rectangle construction that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. The cut-in details and compact counters suggest a deliberate effort to add character and rhythm to an otherwise strictly blocky, industrial silhouette.
At smaller sizes the tight counters and internal notches can close demonstrating a strong preference for display use. The figures are blocky and geometric, matching the uppercase weight and width, and maintain a consistent, squared rhythm that reads well in stacked lines.
