A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are uniform and dense, with corners softened into small radii rather than sharp joins, producing a superellipse feel in curves and bowls. Proportions are condensed with short extenders and a steady, vertical rhythm; apertures tend to be tight, and curves resolve into squared-off terminals. Numerals follow the same chunky, rounded-rect geometry, reading as sturdy and space-efficient.
Best suited to display roles where strong presence and compact line lengths are useful: headlines, posters, product packaging, sports or fitness branding, and bold signage. It can also work for short UI labels or navigation where space is tight and high visual punch is desired.
The overall tone is tough and energetic, with a utilitarian, engineered flavor. Its compact width and blunt, rounded forms evoke sports branding, industrial labeling, and retro-tech display typography—confident, loud, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact in a condensed footprint while maintaining a consistent rounded-rect geometry across the set. The intent reads as a pragmatic, highly legible-at-large-sizes display sans that feels modern-industrial with a slight retro edge.
The design leans on squared bowls and narrow openings (notably in letters like C, S, and e), creating a dense texture in text settings. Distinguishing features include a strong geometric consistency between uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with minimal stylistic flourish and an emphasis on uniform massing.
