A compact, heavy sans with tall, tightly proportioned letterforms and a strong vertical emphasis. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than circular forms. Strokes are largely uniform with blunt terminals and softly rounded corners, producing solid, high-impact silhouettes and steady rhythm. Apertures and counters are relatively small, and the overall spacing reads tight and efficient in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging panels, and sports or team-style graphics where a dense, punchy presence is desired. It can also work for short UI labels or wayfinding-style text when used at sizes that preserve counter clarity, especially in high-contrast color settings.
The tone is assertive and functional, with a contemporary industrial edge. Its condensed, blocky construction evokes labeling, equipment markings, and headline typography where immediacy matters more than delicacy. The rounded corners soften the severity, keeping the voice modern rather than purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptical construction to keep shapes consistent and highly legible at a glance. It prioritizes bold, compact rhythm and a clean, modern feel suitable for contemporary display typography.
Uppercase forms feel especially architectural, with squared curves on letters like C, G, O, and Q, while the lowercase maintains a similarly compact, engineered look. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ squared-round construction and maintaining consistent weight and presence in text.
