A condensed, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and consistently rounded outer corners. Strokes are monoline and dense, with compact counters and tight apertures that create strong vertical emphasis. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, and several forms show cut-in notches and squared joins that add a slightly stencil-like, engineered feel. Overall spacing is economical and the silhouette reads as tall, blocky columns with minimal curvature.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where impact and compact width are priorities, such as posters, sports and team branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can also work for UI labels or badges when sizes are large enough to keep the tight apertures clear.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with a sporty, industrial edge. Its compressed, high-impact shapes feel assertive and mechanical, suggesting urgency and strength rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction and blunt terminals for a rugged, modern display voice that stays highly legible at headline sizes.
Round letters like O/Q and the bowls in B/P/R are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving a consistent boxy rhythm across the set. Diagonals (A, V, W, Y) are steep and sturdy, while the numerals keep the same condensed, squared stance for uniform headline color.
