A compact, heavy sans with a tall, condensed stance and strongly squared/superelliptical curves. Strokes are thick and consistent, with flat terminals and subtly rounded corners that keep the shapes from feeling harsh. Counters are relatively small and openings are kept tight, giving the face a dense, poster-ready texture. Uppercase forms are sturdy and geometric; lowercase keeps the same blocky logic with simplified bowls and short extenders, while figures follow the same solid, rectangular rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short statements where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It can work well for bold branding systems, packaging callouts, event promotion, sports or fitness graphics, and strong UI labels where a compact, high-contrast word shape is desirable.
The font projects a loud, no-nonsense tone: assertive, efficient, and built for attention. Its compressed proportions and dense color read as energetic and slightly industrial, with a contemporary, sports-adjacent punch.
The design appears intended to deliver high visual density and immediate legibility at display sizes, combining a condensed build with softened, rounded-rectangle curves. It prioritizes a uniform, powerful texture and a modern geometric feel over fine typographic nuance for long-form reading.
In the sample text, the strong weight and narrow widths create a continuous dark band across lines, emphasizing mass and rhythm over delicate detail. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially noticeable in curved letters and numerals, where circles resolve into compact superelliptical bowls.
