A dense, condensed display sans built from squared, superellipse-like shapes with generously rounded outer corners. Strokes remain visually even, producing a solid, monolithic texture, while apertures and counters are tight and often rectilinear (notably in forms like B, O, and 8). Terminals are predominantly flat and orthogonal, with occasional softened corners that keep the geometry consistent. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with short crossbars and reduced internal space that emphasizes weight and presence.
Best suited to high-impact headlines, posters, and short branding lines where the heavy, compact silhouette can do the work. It also fits sports or industrial-themed identities, packaging, and bold signage where sturdy geometry and tight spacing read as intentional and graphic. For extended passages, it will be most effective in larger sizes with generous leading to offset its dense interior spaces.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense attitude with a retro display flavor. Its compact geometry and heavy black shapes feel sporty and poster-ready, reading as confident and forceful rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint, using superellipse-based construction to keep forms cohesive and durable. It prioritizes strong silhouette, compact width, and a consistent block geometry for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round letters are interpreted as rounded rectangles, giving the alphabet a cohesive squared-off character. Several glyphs lean toward closed or near-closed forms and narrow openings, which boosts impact at large sizes but increases density in longer text. Numerals are similarly block-constructed, matching the alphabet’s tight counters and squared curves for consistent titling.
