A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves and broadly uniform stroke thickness. Counters are compact and often squarish, with tight apertures that create dense texture in text. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, while joins and curves are softened rather than sharp, giving the letters a sturdy, molded feel. The overall rhythm is tightly packed with strong vertical emphasis and minimal contrast, producing a solid typographic “wall” at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where compact width and strong presence are useful. It can also work for wayfinding or short, high-contrast signage, especially when spacing is adjusted for clarity. For extended reading or small sizes, its tight counters and dense color may feel heavy, so it’s more effective in short bursts than in body text.
The font reads as tough and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, industrial confidence. Its compressed proportions and hefty weight evoke sports branding and utilitarian signage, while the softened corners keep it friendly enough to avoid feeling harsh. Overall it projects strength, urgency, and high impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a condensed build with rounded-rect geometry for a contemporary, engineered look. Its simplified forms and sturdy strokes prioritize bold recognition and a cohesive, logo-friendly silhouette.
In the sample text, the weight and narrow set make long lines feel dense; the design is most comfortable when given generous tracking and ample line spacing. Numerals match the letterforms in mass and rounding, supporting consistent, punchy headlines and counters.
