A condensed, heavy sans with a strongly rectangular skeleton softened by rounded corners and subtly bulging sides. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, creating compact counters and dense color in text. Curves resolve into superellipse-like shapes—especially in rounds such as C, O, and Q—while joins and terminals stay clean and blunt. Lowercase forms are compact and tall with short ascenders/descenders, and the numerals share the same squared-off, softened geometry for a consistent, forceful rhythm.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics. It performs well when you want a dense, attention-grabbing typographic block and clear, consistent shapes at display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as industrial and slightly retro. Its compressed proportions and heavy weight give it a loud, poster-like presence, while the rounded corners keep it friendly enough to avoid feeling harsh.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width, combining a heavy, condensed stance with softened rectangular curves for a modernized industrial feel. The consistent stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction suggest a focus on bold signage-style readability and strong visual branding.
In the sample text, the texture becomes very dark and tightly packed, emphasizing impact over delicacy. The narrow set and compact apertures can cause interior spaces to close up at smaller sizes, while large settings highlight the font’s rounded-rectangle construction and strong vertical emphasis.
