A heavy, block-built sans with squared proportions softened by rounded corners and beveled, chamfer-like cuts. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles, producing tight, rectangular counters in letters like O, B, and 8. Terminals are predominantly straight and blunt, with frequent corner notches that create a subtly segmented, almost stencil-like rhythm. Spacing reads sturdy and even, and the numerals follow the same squared, cut-corner logic for a consistent, high-impact texture.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where its strong geometry and notched details can read clearly. It works well for sports graphics, industrial or tech-themed branding, packaging, and wayfinding/signage where a tough, engineered voice is desired.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, evoking machinery labeling, athletic titling, and bold retro signage. Its geometric rigidity feels decisive and engineered, while the softened corners keep it from becoming harsh or brittle.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through compact, squared forms and signature chamfered cuts, creating a cohesive system that feels both geometric and rugged. The consistent rounded-rectangle construction suggests a deliberate focus on bold display presence and a recognizable, industrial-leaning personality.
Several glyphs feature distinctive corner breaks and step-like joints (notably S, G, and some lowercase forms), which adds character at display sizes but can create dense interior spaces in longer text. The lowercase maintains a strong, chunky silhouette with simplified joins and minimal modulation, reinforcing a uniform, poster-forward color.
