A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction that keeps curves tight and corners softened. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense, even color and strong vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively small and openings are conservative, giving the letters a solid, packed-in silhouette. Round glyphs (like C, O, G, 0) read as squarish superellipses, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are steep and sturdy, maintaining the same weight as the verticals.
Best suited to short, prominent text where density and impact are assets—headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks. It also works well for sports and retail graphics, signage-style callouts, and anywhere a compact, high-weight sans is needed to hold attention.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, industrial confidence. Its compressed proportions and chunky forms feel energetic and competitive, leaning toward a sporty, headline-driven voice rather than a quiet or delicate one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, using superelliptical rounds and softened corners to keep the heavy weight readable and contemporary. It prioritizes uniformity and strong silhouettes for clear recognition at display sizes.
The rhythm is strongly vertical, with short crossbars and compact internal spaces that reinforce a tight, efficient texture in lines of text. Numerals match the letters in mass and geometry, supporting consistent impact in mixed alphanumeric settings.
