A compact, heavy sans with squared-off construction softened by rounded corners and superelliptical curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a sturdy, poster-like color. Terminals are blunt and verticals dominate, while bowls and apertures tend toward rounded-rectangle shapes rather than pure circles. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with compact proportions and short, firm joins; numerals follow the same blocky rhythm for uniform texture in mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and bold statements where compact width and strong presence are assets. It works well for posters, packaging, labels, wayfinding, and branding systems that need a durable, industrial voice. In longer text, it will be most effective at larger sizes with generous leading and careful tracking.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, combining a utilitarian, engineered feel with a slightly retro display sensibility. Its compact mass and rounded-rect geometry give it a confident, sporty punch without becoming playful.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rect forms to keep the texture friendly while remaining firm and authoritative. The consistent stroke weight and blunt terminals prioritize visibility and graphic strength for display-driven applications.
The design maintains a tight horizontal footprint and a strong vertical rhythm, making word shapes feel stacked and solid. Counters are relatively small at this weight, so spacing and size choices will strongly affect clarity in longer passages.
