A heavy, condensed sans with a squared, superelliptic construction: rounds tend to resolve into rounded-rectangle curves, and counters are compact and tightly controlled. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing an even, poster-like texture. Terminals are predominantly blunt with softly eased corners, and joins stay sturdy and geometric. Proportions emphasize height and tight width, with a large x-height and short ascenders/descenders that keep lowercase dense and space-efficient; punctuation and numerals follow the same squared, robust logic.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of display text where dense weight and condensed width maximize presence in limited space. It performs well for branding and graphic applications that benefit from a tough, geometric voice—such as sports, event promotion, packaging callouts, and bold signage.
The overall tone is forceful and functional, with a compact, engineered feel. Its softened corners prevent it from feeling harsh, but the dense weight and narrow fit keep the voice emphatic and no-nonsense—well suited to messages that need to land quickly and confidently.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact footprint, using superelliptic curves and rounded-rectangle geometry to create a modern, industrial sans. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent rhythm for attention-grabbing display settings.
The typeface maintains strong visual uniformity across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, creating a consistent dark color in text. Rounded-rectangle bowls (notably in letters like O/D/P and in numerals) reinforce the geometric theme, while tight apertures and small counters favor impact over delicacy at smaller sizes.
