A compact, blocky sans with squared proportions softened by rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation and a strong vertical emphasis, creating a tight, efficient rhythm. Counters tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes, and joins and terminals stay crisp and planar rather than calligraphic. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with simple single-storey forms and short, sturdy extenders that keep lines looking dense and controlled.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display settings where dense, high-impact letterforms are an advantage. It also fits branding systems that want a sturdy, engineered voice—such as sports, workwear, tools, or product packaging—and can hold up well in straightforward signage and labels.
The tone is functional and forceful, leaning industrial and athletic rather than friendly or literary. Its condensed massing and squared curves give it a no-nonsense, engineered feel that reads as confident and slightly retro.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width, using squared, rounded-rectangle construction to maintain a consistent, industrial texture across letters and numerals.
Round characters like O/Q and numerals rely on superelliptical, squared-off curves, which keeps silhouettes consistent across letters and figures. The overall spacing and weight produce strong dark color, favoring impact over delicacy in longer settings.
