A condensed, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, with tight apertures and compact internal counters that create a dense, poster-like color on the page. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls, and joins often pinch into narrow notches, giving several letters a subtly segmented, almost stencil-adjacent feel. Overall spacing is tight and the rhythm is vertical and disciplined, with tall proportions and minimal modulation across the set.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where density and impact are desirable, such as posters, packaging, logo wordmarks, and bold signage. It can work for subheads and callouts in editorial or UI contexts when used at larger sizes with comfortable spacing.
The font reads as bold and functional, with a retro-industrial tone that feels at home in machinery, sports, or transit-adjacent graphics. Its compressed stance and squared rounds convey urgency and toughness, while the softened corners keep it from feeling sharp or aggressive in a hostile way. The result is a confident, utilitarian voice with a faint sci‑fi/arcade edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a compact width, using superelliptical geometry and heavy, even strokes to stay legible and consistent across letters and numbers. The characteristic notches and tight apertures add an engineered, display-driven personality while preserving a clean sans foundation.
Distinctive notched joins and narrow counters can become prominent at smaller sizes, so the face tends to look best when given enough scale or generous leading. Numerals match the blocky, rounded-rectangle logic and maintain strong visual consistency with the caps.
