A dense, condensed sans with heavy strokes and softly squared, superellipse-like curves. The design is built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls are compact and squarish, counters are tight, and corners are consistently softened rather than sharply cut. Terminals are mostly flat and horizontal/vertical, producing a rigid, sign-like rhythm, while a few letters (notably S and R) introduce slightly sculpted notches that read as subtly stencil-like. Numerals and capitals share the same compact width and sturdy proportions, creating a highly uniform, space-efficient texture in all-caps settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, sports branding, packaging panels, and wayfinding or label-style signage. It also works well for logotypes and badges where a compact footprint and strong silhouette are priorities.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial and slightly retro flavor reminiscent of athletic labeling, equipment markings, and utilitarian signage. Its compressed width and blocky construction make it feel energetic and forceful, leaning more toward impact and clarity than elegance.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual weight in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to stay friendly at the corners while remaining rigid and utilitarian overall. The consistent, block-based shapes suggest an intention to perform as a robust display face for branding and titling rather than extended reading.
The tight apertures and small counters emphasize mass and silhouette, which helps at large sizes but can make interior shapes feel closed in dense text. The lowercase maintains a sturdy, compact build with simple forms and minimal modulation, keeping the voice consistent between mixed-case and all-caps.
