A compact, heavy sans with blocky proportions and rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) curves. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and joins and terminals are clean and blunt, producing a dense, poster-like texture. Counters are tight but clearly cut, and the overall silhouette reads as slightly squared rather than purely geometric. Uppercase forms are tall and compact, while lowercase keeps a practical, straightforward structure with a plain, single-storey look where applicable and a solid, rectangular rhythm throughout. Numerals follow the same sturdy, compact construction, maintaining consistent weight and footprint in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where maximum impact and space efficiency matter. It works well for sports and outdoor branding, bold packaging callouts, and straightforward signage that needs to read quickly from a distance.
The font projects a strong, no-nonsense tone—confident, loud, and built for impact. Its condensed, squared-round shapes evoke industrial labeling and athletic branding, conveying toughness and urgency without decorative flair.
This design appears intended to deliver a high-impact, space-saving sans that stays legible through simplified shapes and consistent stroke weight. The rounded-square construction suggests a goal of balancing toughness with a modern, engineered smoothness for branding and display settings.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight internal space create strong emphasis at larger sizes, while the compact width helps fit more characters per line. The rounded-square geometry keeps the heavy weight from feeling overly harsh, giving it a controlled, engineered personality.
