A heavy, display-oriented sans with broad, squared proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves. Forms are built from chunky vertical slabs and softened corners, with tight, compressed counters that read as small notches within large black shapes. Several letters show deliberate horizontal cut-ins and short internal gaps that create a stencil-like, segmented feel, while joins and terminals remain blunt and geometric. The overall rhythm is compact and dense, with strong silhouettes and slightly varying widths across the set for a bold, poster-ready texture.
Best suited for large-scale applications such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and packaging where its strong silhouettes and internal cut details can be appreciated. It can also work well for sports and event branding, badges, and bold editorial titling where maximum impact is the goal.
The tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, leaning toward retro athletic and industrial signage. Its chunky geometry and carved-in details give it a rugged, mechanical confidence that feels built for impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact display voice using superelliptical geometry and intentional interior cut-ins to create texture, differentiation, and a slightly stencil-like attitude in heavy letterforms.
In text, the dense black mass and narrow internal spaces can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially in letters with closed bowls and tight apertures. The distinctive internal cut details become a defining feature at larger sizes, where they add texture and prevent large areas from feeling flat.
