A heavy, compressed sans with monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are squared-off and corners are broadly radiused, producing compact bowls and counters with a sturdy, stamped feel. The glyphs show tight apertures (notably in letters like C and S), short crossbars, and generally vertical, uniform stroke endings, creating an even, dense rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-round logic, reading bold and utilitarian at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and branding where a condensed, blocky presence is desired. It can also work for signage and wayfinding or sports/industrial-themed graphics, but the tight counters and dense texture make it less ideal for long-form text at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a retro-industrial flavor that feels at home in signage and sports-style branding. Its compact width and chunky shapes convey urgency and impact, while the rounded corners soften the voice just enough to avoid harshness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, using superelliptical geometry and monoline construction to create a strong, consistent silhouette. It prioritizes bold presence and compact readability for display typography and brand marks.
Uppercase forms are especially compact and rectangular, while lowercase retains the same engineered geometry and tight internal space. The dot on i/j is small and squared-round, and the overall set maintains consistent corner radii and stroke weight for a coherent, logo-friendly texture.
