A compact, heavy sans with squared-off curves and rounded-rectangle counters that give many letters a superelliptical feel. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing strong, even color and clear vertical emphasis. Apertures tend to be tight and counters are relatively small, while terminals are blunt and clean. The overall rhythm is dense and controlled, with crisp edges softened slightly by rounded inner shapes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short bursts of text where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It works well for posters, retail and event graphics, packaging fronts, labels, and wayfinding or promotional signage. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the tight counters and dense texture can breathe.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-like presence. Its tight, blocky geometry reads as practical and direct, evoking sports, signage, and mid-century display typography. The condensed build adds urgency and impact, making text feel loud and attention-seeking even in short phrases.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient, high-impact display sans built around rounded-rectangular geometry. It prioritizes bold presence, strong vertical structure, and consistent weight for clear branding and attention-grabbing messaging in constrained layouts.
Uppercase forms are especially compact and rectangular, while lowercase maintains a similarly sturdy structure with simplified shapes and minimal detailing. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, matching the caps in weight and footprint for cohesive, high-impact settings.
