A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like curves and softened corners. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, producing dense, dark letterforms with tight counters and a strong vertical rhythm. The proportions feel compressed, with tall lowercase and short ascenders/descenders, while bowls and curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than perfect circles. Terminals tend to be blunt and flat, and the numerals match the same sturdy, block-forward construction for a cohesive, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branded lockups where boldness and compact width help fit more characters into a line. It can work well for sports or event graphics, punchy packaging, and short signage messages where a heavy, blocky texture is an advantage. Longer body copy may require generous size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is loud and energetic, with a retro athletic/industrial edge. Its chunky geometry and narrow stance give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that still reads as approachable due to the rounded corners and friendly curves.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to balance toughness with approachability. Its consistent weight and compact counters suggest a focus on strong silhouette and high visual presence in display settings.
At text sizes the dense weight and compact apertures can close up, but at display sizes the distinctive squared-round shapes and condensed rhythm become the main character. The type creates a strong, uniform “wall of black” effect that works well for impact-driven layouts.
