A compact, heavy sans with a condensed footprint and rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are uniform and dense, with broad verticals and tight internal counters that keep the silhouette bold at a glance. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and softened corners, creating a superelliptical feel rather than fully circular forms. The rhythm is tightly packed and vertical, with short apertures and firm terminals that emphasize solidity over delicacy.
Best suited to large-size settings where its compact width and heavy presence can maximize impact—posters, headlines, price callouts, and bold packaging panels. It can also work in signage or wayfinding where a strong, simplified silhouette is beneficial, especially in short bursts of text.
The tone is forceful and direct, leaning toward utilitarian and athletic messaging. Its compressed mass and squared-round forms read as confident and tough, delivering a contemporary, workmanlike energy suited to attention-grabbing headlines.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, using softened rectangular geometry to stay friendly enough for branding while remaining tough and authoritative. The consistent stroke behavior and compact proportions suggest an emphasis on punchy display typography and clear, high-impact messaging.
Uppercase forms feel especially monumental and columnar, while lowercase retains the same dense, squared-round logic with compact counters. Numerals match the same blocky construction for consistent impact in mixed text.
