A compact, heavy sans with tightly drawn proportions and a strong vertical stance. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-ready color. Curves are built from softened, squarish forms, giving rounds a rounded-rectangle feel; terminals are generally blunt with subtly rounded corners. Counters are small but kept open through clean, simplified interior shapes, and the overall rhythm is uniform and punchy across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale applications where impact and economy of space matter—headlines, posters, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage. It also fits sports and team branding, editorial display, and short UI labels where a firm, condensed voice is desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian confidence that reads as athletic and industrial. Its compactness and squared rounding add a slightly retro, sign-paint and headline flavor without becoming decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, prioritizing solidity, quick recognition, and consistent texture. Its rounded-rect construction suggests an intent to feel modern and engineered while remaining friendly enough for broad display use.
The design leans on straight-sided bowls and rounded-rect geometry, which keeps letters stable in tight settings. Lowercase forms are straightforward and sturdy, and the numerals match the same compact, high-impact construction for cohesive typographic color.
