A compact, heavy sans with condensed proportions and broad, blunt strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than pure circles, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superellipse feel. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with occasional angled joins that add a tough, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and large relative to the caps, with dense spacing and tight apertures that keep word shapes punchy at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and branding where strong presence and quick readability matter. It works well on packaging and labels that need dense information set in a bold voice, and it can support sporty or industrial-themed identities and campaigns.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, industrial edge. Its rounded-rect curves soften the weight just enough to feel contemporary rather than purely brutalist, while still reading as assertive and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal footprint, combining a heavy weight with rounded-rect construction for a modern, streamlined feel. It prioritizes bold silhouettes and consistent texture to stay legible and commanding in short bursts of text.
Several glyphs show purposeful idiosyncrasies—like the compact, squared bowls and narrow internal spaces—that emphasize a strong vertical cadence. Numerals and capitals are drawn to hold solid silhouettes, favoring stability and uniform color over delicacy.
