A heavy, block-forward sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squared-off curves. Strokes are uniform and massively weighted, with tight interior counters and a compact rhythm that keeps letters feeling dense. Corners are softened rather than sharp, while many joins and terminals show small rectangular cut-ins that read like ink-traps or stencil breaks, adding a mechanical texture. Proportions lean wide and low-contrast, with a tall x-height and simplified, geometric bowls that maintain strong consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, title cards, sports branding, and bold packaging. It can also work for logo wordmarks and signage where maximum presence and a compact, blocky silhouette are desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial edge. The rounded geometry keeps it friendly enough for pop culture uses, but the dense black shape and cut-in details push it toward tough, engineered, attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum inked area and instant readability at display sizes, using rounded-rectangle geometry for cohesion and small cut-in details to prevent heavy joins from blobbing while adding a distinctive, industrial voice.
At text sizes it reads as a display face: the tight apertures and dense counters can close up visually, while the distinctive cut-in notches become a defining signature in larger settings. Numerals match the same chunky, squared-round logic, supporting headline and labeling systems with a unified look.
