A compact, heavy sans with a tall, condensed stance and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and uniform, with softened corners and squared terminals that keep forms rigid but not sharp. Counters are relatively small and often rectangular, creating dense texture in text. Curves are pulled into superelliptical shapes (notably in C, O, S, and the bowls of B/P/R), while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are straight and sturdy, preserving a poster-like rigidity.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold titling where maximum presence is needed in limited horizontal space. It also fits sports branding, impactful packaging callouts, and utilitarian signage where a sturdy, condensed word shape helps information stand out.
The overall tone is forceful and functional, leaning industrial and athletic. Its dense, compressed rhythm reads as assertive and high-energy, with a contemporary signage feel rather than a delicate or literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the forms clean, modern, and consistent. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and dense color for attention-grabbing display typography.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same squared, rounded-corner logic as the lowercase, producing a consistent “stamped” look across sets. In running text, the weight and tight internal space create strong emphasis and high visual presence, especially at display sizes.
