A condensed, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like counters and softly rounded outer corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, dark typographic color. Curves tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles, and joins are sturdy and geometric. The lowercase is compact and high, with short ascenders/descenders and simple, closed apertures that keep letterforms tight. Numerals and capitals follow the same blocky rhythm, emphasizing uniform verticals and compact widths for a strongly packed texture.
Best suited to large sizes where its compact, heavy forms can create impact—headlines, posters, signage, and bold branding systems. It can also work well on packaging and labels that benefit from a sturdy, space-efficient wordmark style.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting an athletic, industrial confidence. Its compact, heavy build reads as practical and attention-grabbing, with a contemporary utilitarian feel rather than a delicate or expressive one.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow footprint, combining robust stroke weight with rounded-rectangle geometry for a modern, durable headline voice.
Spacing appears intentionally tight-looking due to the condensed proportions and heavy strokes, creating a strong headline presence. The rounded-corner geometry helps soften the mass slightly, keeping the forms friendly while still feeling robust.
