A compact, condensed sans with very heavy strokes and tightly enclosed counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and shoulders a squarish softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are blunt and clean, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm is dense and even, with minimal modulation and strong vertical emphasis. Figures and capitals share the same compact, poster-like footprint, staying clear at large sizes with a highly unified silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and branding where dense, high-impact letterforms are desirable. It works well for sports and industrial-themed identities, product packaging, and attention-grabbing labels, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the compact spacing and strong silhouettes can shine.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a punchy, headline-driven presence. Its rounded-rectangular construction adds a contemporary, engineered feel that reads as sporty and industrial rather than friendly or delicate. Overall it projects confidence and efficiency.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint while maintaining a consistent, engineered geometry. The rounded-rectangle construction and blunt terminals suggest an emphasis on sturdy legibility and a contemporary, utilitarian voice for display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show a distinctly squared interior and exterior curvature, which helps maintain consistency with straight-sided forms. The heavy weight and tight apertures can cause counters to fill in at smaller sizes, favoring display use and short bursts of text.
