A condensed, heavy sans with broad, superelliptic curves and subtly rounded corners that keep the forms compact and block-like. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight counters and small apertures that create strong black shapes and a firm vertical rhythm. Curved letters (C, O, S) read as squared-off rounds, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are steep and sturdy; overall spacing is tight and optimized for solidity rather than airiness.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where strong vertical rhythm and compact width help fit more characters per line without losing presence. It can also work well for sports graphics, packaging callouts, labels, and any situation needing condensed, high-impact display type.
The tone is bold and forceful, leaning toward an industrial, sporty feel that prioritizes impact and immediacy. Its compact shapes and high visual density communicate urgency and confidence, making it feel at home in attention-grabbing contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptic rounds and uniform weight to maintain a cohesive, punchy texture. It emphasizes legibility through simple, sturdy silhouettes rather than open counters or delicate detailing.
The lowercase is built to match the uppercase’s compact mass, with simplified joins and counters that stay small at text sizes. Numerals follow the same condensed, heavy construction for consistent color in mixed settings.
