A tightly condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and squared-off, rounded-rectangle (“superellipse”) curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, monolinear color. Counters are small and mostly rectangular/slot-like, and many joins terminate in flat, blunt ends rather than tapered finishes. The lowercase is tall and narrow with short extenders, while numerals follow the same compressed, blocky construction for a uniform, high-impact rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, sports and team graphics, labels, and bold signage. It can work for brief callouts or navigation text where space is limited, but the dense counters and tight rhythm make it less ideal for extended reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward industrial signage and athletic branding. Its compressed weight and closed apertures create a commanding, no-nonsense voice that reads as loud, assertive, and modern.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in narrow widths: a compressed footprint with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle shaping to keep forms stable and cohesive across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Spacing appears intentionally tight to maintain a compact silhouette; in longer lines this produces a continuous dark texture. The superelliptical rounding softens the blockiness just enough to keep forms from feeling sharp or mechanical, while still prioritizing punch and presence.
