A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle curves. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tight, producing a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette that reads as solid and weighty. Rounds (C, O, G, 0) lean toward squarish superellipse geometry, while straight-sided letters keep crisp vertical edges and simplified joins. The lowercase follows the same compressed rhythm, with a single-storey a and g and generally short extenders that reinforce the tight overall color.
Works best for headlines, display typography, and short bursts of copy where a compact footprint is useful. Suitable for posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from a firm, condensed presence. It can also support branding systems that need a strong, consistent typographic voice in limited horizontal space.
The font conveys a forceful, no-nonsense tone—confident, utilitarian, and built for impact. Its compressed width and sturdy shapes suggest industrial signage and sports-style urgency, with a straightforward, modern attitude rather than elegance or warmth.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space through compressed proportions and sturdy, superellipse-based letterforms. It prioritizes bold presence, simple geometry, and consistent rhythm for display settings where clarity and strength outweigh delicacy.
At larger sizes, the strong vertical rhythm and squarish rounds create a distinctive, architectural texture. In longer text, the combination of narrow measures and closed apertures can feel dense, making it best where bold emphasis and space economy are priorities.
