A dense, heavy sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into broad superelliptic bowls with softened corners rather than true circles, while verticals and horizontals stay blunt and uniform. Counters are tight and apertures are modest, creating strong dark mass and a steady, compressed rhythm across words. Terminals are square-cut, joins are sturdy, and the overall silhouette feels engineered and consistent at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and large-format copy where tight spacing and heavy color are an advantage. It can also work well in branding marks, packaging, labels, and sports or industrial-themed graphics that benefit from compact, high-impact letterforms.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, sporty energy. Its compact, blocky shapes read as confident and attention-grabbing, suited to messaging that needs to feel bold, direct, and practical rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, modern sans structure. By using rounded-rectangle geometry and sturdy joins, it aims for legibility at display sizes with a strong, unified typographic voice.
The figures and capitals share a highly uniform, rectangular logic, producing strong alignment and a solid headline texture. Round letters retain a slightly squarish feel, and strokes maintain a consistent thickness, emphasizing impact over internal whitespace.
