A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and uniform with minimal modulation, creating dense vertical silhouettes and a compact rhythm. Counters are tight and often squared-off or superelliptical, with many terminals finishing flat, which reinforces a poster-like solidity. The lowercase is tall and compact with short extenders, while numerals and capitals maintain the same narrow, upright stance for a cohesive, billboard-ready texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, storefront or event graphics, and bold brand marks where a compact, condensed presence is useful. It can also work well on packaging and labels that need strong shelf readability, especially when paired with a more open text face for longer copy.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, leaning toward industrial signage and sports headline energy. Its compressed width and chunky forms read as assertive and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, workmanlike flavor from the rounded corners and blocky proportions.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space while keeping forms friendly and manufacturable through rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes bold clarity and consistency across cases and figures for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round forms (like O, Q, 0) are more like rounded rectangles than true ovals, and the joins in letters such as M, N, W, and V create sharp interior angles that add bite within an otherwise softened system. The density of strokes and tight internal space suggest it will perform best when given generous tracking or used at sizes where counters don’t clog.
