A condensed, heavy sans with a squared, superellipse skeleton: rounded-rectangle bowls, tight apertures, and generally vertical stress. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly blunt with subtly softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp. Counters are compact (notably in O, P, R, a, e), and the overall rhythm is dense and uniform, producing strong rectangular word shapes. The lowercase is sturdy with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders, and broad, flat joins that emphasize a compressed, engineered feel.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, poster titles, packaging callouts, and sports or event branding. It can also work for signage and interface labels where a compact, emphatic voice is needed, but it will perform most reliably at larger sizes due to its tight counters.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone—confident, no-nonsense, and built for impact. Its compact geometry and dense black color read as sporty and industrial, with a slightly retro display flavor reminiscent of headline and poster lettering. The overall impression is assertive and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle construction for a sturdy, contemporary-industrial look. Its emphasis on compact counters and blunt terminals suggests prioritizing bold legibility and strong word-shape presence in display settings.
The numerals and capitals appear optimized for bold display, with tight internal spaces that can fill in at smaller sizes. The squared bowls and narrow proportions give strong signage-like silhouettes, while the softened corners add a controlled, modern finish.
