A heavy, condensed sans with squared proportions softened by rounded corners and superelliptical curves. Strokes are monolinear and strongly weighty, with large counters kept tight and efficient, creating a dense texture in text. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S feel squarish rather than circular, and terminals are clean and blunt. The lowercase keeps simple, utilitarian constructions (single-storey a and g) with short ascenders/descenders and compact apertures, reinforcing a sturdy, space-saving rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and display settings where high impact and space efficiency matter—such as posters, packaging, branding wordmarks, and bold signage. It can work for subheads and callouts, but extended body text will appear very dense and may benefit from generous leading and tracking.
The font conveys an assertive, no-nonsense tone with a contemporary, industrial flavor. Its compact forms and dense color read as confident and energetic, lending a sporty, poster-like presence without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width, using a rounded-rectangular geometry to keep forms contemporary and cohesive. The consistent stroke weight and simplified shapes suggest a focus on clarity at display sizes and strong visual branding.
In longer lines, the narrow set and heavy weight create a strong horizontal banding effect, so whitespace becomes a primary part of the rhythm. Numerals match the overall blocky geometry and appear designed for impact rather than delicacy, staying consistent with the rounded-rectangle skeleton across the set.
