A tightly compressed, heavy display sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong, even color and short counters throughout. Terminals are largely blunt and flat, while bowls and joints resolve into softened corners that keep the geometry cohesive. The uppercase is tall and compact with narrow apertures; lowercase follows a similarly vertical, utilitarian build with simplified forms and compact spacing.
Best suited to short, bold copy such as headlines, posters, sports or event graphics, and compact branding where space is limited. It can also work for labels and signage that need high visual presence, but the tight counters suggest avoiding long passages or very small sizes.
The font conveys a forceful, no-nonsense tone—dense, urgent, and built for impact. Its compressed stance and blocky geometry read as industrial and sporty, leaning toward attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet typography.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in narrow widths by pairing a condensed skeleton with superellipse-like rounding, creating a sturdy, modern display voice that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Round letters (like O, C, G) appear as squared ovals with tight interior space, and many forms favor straight-sided silhouettes over open curves. The overall rhythm is vertical and packed, creating a strong headline texture that holds together well in large sizes.
