A dense, compact sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) construction throughout. Curves are tightened into squarish bowls and counters, producing a blocky silhouette with softened corners rather than fully circular rounds. Proportions are tall and condensed with short extenders and sturdy joins; terminals are blunt and clean, keeping edges crisp at display sizes. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same compressed rhythm, with single-storey forms and simplified apertures that favor mass and clarity over delicacy.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and bold branding where a compact footprint and strong texture are beneficial. It can also work for packaging callouts and sports or product marks where the squared-rounded forms convey toughness and modernity.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a contemporary, no-nonsense presence that feels sporty and industrial. Its compact width and thick weight read as confident and attention-seeking, suited to messages that need to land quickly and emphatically.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using superelliptic shaping and blunt terminals to create a modern, sturdy voice. The emphasis is on bold legibility and graphic presence rather than nuanced text typography.
The superelliptic geometry gives the face a distinctive “squared-off round” personality, especially visible in bowls like O, D, P, and b/o. Spacing and internal counters appear intentionally tight, reinforcing a strong color on the page and helping text hold together as bold blocks in headlines.
