A heavy, condensed sans with a compact, vertical stance and squared-off geometry softened by rounded corners. Curves tend toward superellipse-like bowls, giving O/C/G and the lowercase counters a sturdy, rounded-rectangle feel rather than pure circularity. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal modulation, and terminals are blunt and clean, producing a tight, efficient rhythm in text. The lowercase is tall and sturdy with simple, utilitarian shapes, while figures are bold and stable, built from the same squared/rounded construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other high-impact display settings where space is limited but presence is needed. It can work well for sports and apparel branding, packaging, labels, and bold UI/wayfinding callouts when used with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting strength and momentum. Its compact width and dense blackness feel at home in athletic, industrial, or urban branding, with a confident voice that reads as modern and functional rather than delicate or classic.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum punch in a narrow footprint, combining squared construction with rounded corners for a modern, approachable industrial look. It prioritizes clarity and impact in large sizes and quick reads over subtlety or long-form comfort.
Round letters keep relatively tight apertures, and interior counters remain generous enough to avoid clogging at display sizes. The condensed proportions and strong verticals create a stacked, compressed texture in longer lines, which heightens impact but can feel intense in dense paragraphs.
