A heavy, compact display sans with squared proportions and softly rounded corners. Strokes show clear modulation: verticals tend to read sturdier while joins and curves carve out tight counters, giving several letters an ink-trap-like bite at interior corners. The rhythm is dense and muscular, with short apertures (notably in C/S) and robust terminals that stay largely flat and blunt. Numerals match the weight and stance, with simplified, blocky forms that prioritize impact over delicacy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, athletic identities, labels, and bold wayfinding where strong typographic color is an advantage. It can also work for UI banners or section headers when you want a compact, attention-grabbing voice, but it’s less ideal for extended body copy due to the dense counters and heavy texture.
The overall tone is loud and confident, with a utilitarian toughness that feels at home in athletic and industrial contexts. Its compressed counters and forceful weight project urgency and authority, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh. The result leans slightly retro—evoking bold signage and team branding—without becoming overtly decorative.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, balancing blunt, engineered shapes with subtle corner rounding and interior cut-ins for clarity. The stroke modulation and tightened apertures suggest an intention to stay readable under heavy weight while retaining a distinctive, modern-signage character.
The face maintains a consistent, engineered geometry across uppercase and lowercase, with single-storey a and g adding to the straightforward, workmanlike personality. Counters are relatively tight at text sizes, which boosts color and presence but can reduce openness in long passages. The sample text shows strong line-to-line texture and a distinctly dark typographic color.
