A compact, heavy sans with broad, rounded curves and straight-sided verticals that create a dense, high-impact texture. Counters are relatively tight, and terminals are mostly blunt, giving forms a blocky silhouette while still retaining smooth circular bowls. The lowercase shows a double-storey “a” and a single-storey “g,” with simple, sturdy joins and minimal modulation. Numerals are similarly bold and compact, with clear, utilitarian shapes that maintain the same thick rhythm as the letters.
Best suited for short, high-visibility settings such as headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging callouts, and bold UI labels. It also fits sporty or industrial-themed graphics where compact, punchy letterforms are desirable.
The overall tone is forceful and contemporary, leaning toward utilitarian and industrial rather than delicate or refined. Its dense weight and compact spacing cues urgency and confidence, making it feel suited to attention-grabbing communication.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact within a tight horizontal footprint, delivering a strong, contemporary voice with simple, robust letterforms that reproduce well at large sizes.
The font’s tight apertures and thick strokes create strong cohesion at display sizes, while the compact proportions can make internal detail feel compressed in longer text. Rounded bowls help soften the mass, keeping the look modern rather than purely geometric or rigid.
