A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a tall x-height. Strokes are uniform and low in contrast, producing a solid, ink-trap-free silhouette. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic rather than circles, giving letters like C, G, O, and S a squared, superelliptical feel. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, so the texture reads dense and forceful in lines of text. Numerals and capitals follow the same tall, compressed rhythm, with sturdy joins and minimal ornamentation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where high impact and tight set widths are desirable. It can perform well in signage and packaging that benefit from a dense, compressed voice, especially at medium to large sizes where the compact counters remain clear.
The overall tone is bold and commanding, with a utilitarian, industrial confidence. Its tight, vertical rhythm and squared curves evoke sports branding, headlines, and signage where impact matters more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using uniform, heavy strokes and superelliptical curves to create a strong, consistent word shape. It prioritizes boldness, compactness, and a modern, utilitarian texture for attention-driven typography.
The condensed width amplifies the verticality of capitals and makes multi-word lines feel packed and energetic. Round letters retain a noticeably squared curvature, while straight-sided glyphs (like E, F, H, I, L) read especially rigid and architectural, reinforcing a consistent, hard-working voice.
