A compact, tightly set sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a distinctly condensed build. Curves are formed from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than pure circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with minimal modulation, and the overall silhouette feels sturdy and engineered. Lowercase forms keep a tall, efficient structure with short extenders, while punctuation and numerals follow the same dense, block-forward rhythm for consistent color in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and other high-impact display settings where a compact footprint is helpful. It also works well for branding systems that want a strong, industrial or sporty voice, and for packaging where dense width allows more characters per line without losing presence.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, leaning toward modern industrial signage and sports/packaging energy. Its compressed width and dark typographic color create urgency and impact, making it feel bold, practical, and straightforward rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and legibility in a narrow measure, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep shapes friendly while staying robust. It prioritizes a consistent, emphatic texture and a strong silhouette for attention-grabbing typographic blocks.
The rounded-rectangle construction is especially apparent in letters with bowls (B, D, O, P, R) and in the numerals, where corners soften without becoming fully geometric. The condensed proportions emphasize verticality and make spacing feel tight, which increases punch at display sizes and can quickly build a strong, dark texture in longer lines.
