A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled sidebearings. The overall shape language is built from rounded-rectangle geometry: corners are softened, curves are squarish, and counters tend toward rectangular/superelliptical forms rather than true circles. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, poster-ready texture. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, and the numerals echo the same condensed, boxy construction for a uniform rhythm in mixed alphanumeric settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, product branding, packaging, and sports or event graphics. It also works well for labels, wayfinding-style callouts, and bold UI moments where compact width and strong stroke weight help conserve space while maintaining visibility.
The font reads as forceful and utilitarian, with a modern, engineered tone. Its condensed massing and squared curves suggest athletic, industrial, and tech-forward branding—confident, no-nonsense, and built for attention at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms crisp and highly repeatable. It prioritizes strong silhouette recognition and consistent rhythm across letters and numbers for display-driven applications.
The narrow set width and dense color create strong headline presence, while the rounded corners prevent the design from feeling sharp or brittle. The uppercase and numerals feel especially cohesive due to shared rounded-rectangle counters, giving signage-style clarity and a consistent, modular look across the set.
