A compact, heavy sans with squared, superelliptical construction and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are thick and even, with tight apertures and small counters that create strong, dark texture in paragraphs. Curves are rendered as rounded-rectangle bowls, while joins and terminals stay blunt and straight, producing a sturdy, engineered silhouette. The overall rhythm is dense and compressed, with crisp verticals and minimal modulation that favors impact over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a dense, high-impact word shape is desirable. It can also work well for sports branding, event graphics, and signage applications that benefit from sturdy, compact letterforms and an assertive typographic tone.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting an industrial and athletic voice reminiscent of signage, stenciled labeling, and scoreboard typography. Its blocky shapes and tight openings give it an authoritative, high-impact presence that reads as tough and practical rather than friendly or lyrical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent rounded-rectangle geometry. By keeping stroke weight uniform and apertures tight, it prioritizes solidity and presence, making it a pragmatic display face for bold messaging.
At larger sizes the rounded-corner geometry and squared bowls become a defining stylistic signature, while at smaller sizes the tight counters can begin to fill in, increasing the already strong color. Numerals match the same compact, squared construction, supporting a consistent headline system.
