A compact, heavy sans with tightly set proportions and a tall lowercase profile. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: counters tend to be squarish with softened corners, and curves terminate in clean, blunt edges rather than tapered joins. Strokes maintain an even thickness throughout, producing a dense color on the page and strong silhouette clarity. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with minimal modulation, short ascenders/descenders, and a single-storey ‘a’; round letters like ‘o’ read as squared-off ovals, and the numerals follow the same blocky, softened-corner construction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, packaging callouts, and sports or streetwear-style branding. It can work for signage and wayfinding where bold, compact letterforms help fit text into constrained horizontal space, but it is less geared toward long-form reading at small sizes due to its dense texture.
The overall tone is forceful and modern, with a no-nonsense, engineered feel. Its compressed width and heavy weight project urgency and impact, leaning toward sporty and industrial branding rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal width while keeping a friendly, contemporary softness through rounded-rectangle curves. It prioritizes bold legibility and brandable shape consistency, creating a strong, repeatable visual rhythm across letters and numerals.
The font’s interior spaces are relatively tight at text sizes, and the uniform weight emphasizes rhythm through spacing and shape repetition rather than stroke contrast. Diacritics and punctuation shown (e.g., dots, apostrophe) appear solid and substantial, matching the weight of the letters.
