A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and squarish counters that stay open despite the dense weight. Strokes are largely uniform, with blunt terminals and minimal modulation, producing a steady, poster-ready texture. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls (notably in C, O, G, and the numerals), while joins are firm and slightly squared, reinforcing a blocky silhouette. Spacing appears tight and efficient, and the overall rhythm favors tall, condensed shapes with clear, simple internal forms.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, logotypes, and wayfinding where strong presence and compact width are useful. It can also work for labels and UI callouts when a bold, utilitarian emphasis is needed, though its density suggests display sizing rather than long-form reading.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, workmanlike attitude. Its compressed, heavyweight presence reads as confident and attention-seeking, leaning toward sports, industrial labeling, and bold modern branding rather than delicate or editorial sophistication.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptical geometry and sturdy, uniform strokes for a clean, contemporary voice. The goal appears to be a distinctive geometric sans that remains highly legible and punchy at large sizes.
Round letters maintain a distinctive squircle feel, giving the face a recognizable geometric signature in both caps and figures. The lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel where applicable, supporting quick recognition at display sizes while preserving the font’s compact density.
