A condensed, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and softened corners. Strokes are thick and steady with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark silhouettes and compact spacing. Round letters such as O/C/G lean toward rounded-rectangle bowls, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/N) emphasize verticality and tight proportions. Terminals are clean and largely flat, counters are relatively small, and the overall rhythm is uniform and sturdy, with a clear emphasis on tall, narrow shapes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, packaging titles, and bold wayfinding or signage. The dense weight and condensed proportions help fit more characters into tight horizontal space while keeping strong presence in large sizes.
The font reads assertive and utilitarian, with a punchy, no-nonsense voice. Its compact width and strong black weight give it an industrial and athletic feel, suited to messaging that needs to look forceful and immediately legible at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited width by combining very heavy strokes with squared, rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes strong silhouette, uniformity, and straightforward construction for confident display typography.
The lowercase maintains a sturdy, engineered feel with simplified joins and squarish apertures; the single-storey forms (e.g., a) and the compact bowls reinforce a signage-like, modular impression. Numerals follow the same condensed, heavy construction, making them visually consistent for prominent numeric display.
