A heavy, condensed sans with squared-off, superellipse-style curves and consistently blunt terminals. The counters are compact and the joins are tight, producing dense, punchy word shapes, while rounded corners keep the texture from feeling harsh. Curved letters like C, O, and S lean toward rounded-rectangle geometry rather than circular forms, and the overall rhythm is uniform and blocky for strong silhouette clarity.
Well suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a condensed, powerful voice is needed. It can work effectively for signage and UI callouts that require strong emphasis, as well as sports, music, or editorial display applications where compact width and bold texture help text stand out.
This typeface projects a confident, high-impact tone with a compressed, no-nonsense voice. Its rounded-rectangle forms soften the aggression of the weight, creating a vibe that feels modern, pragmatic, and slightly industrial. Overall it reads as assertive and attention-grabbing without becoming playful or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, optimizing for bold headlines and compressed settings. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests a goal of maintaining a contemporary, engineered feel while keeping forms sturdy and legible at large sizes.
The punctuation and numerals match the same sturdy, squared-rounded construction, supporting consistent texture across mixed content. In the sample text, long lines maintain a strong vertical rhythm, with the condensed proportions creating a tall, commanding presence.
