A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle geometry and consistently thick strokes. Corners are softened rather than fully circular, giving letters a squarish, superelliptical silhouette. Counters are small and often rectangular or slit-like, while terminals are flat and blunt, creating a strong, poster-ready texture. Overall spacing and proportions feel tight and vertically emphasized, producing a dense rhythm in words and lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, labels, and signage where dense, bold forms are an advantage. It can also work for sports branding or industrial-themed packaging, but the tight counters make it less ideal for small-size body text.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage, sports titling, and display lettering. Its squared forms and minimal internal openings read as tough and mechanical, conveying authority and impact more than refinement.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction and restrained detailing to keep letterforms consistent and highly legible at display sizes.
The capitals are especially uniform and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same blocky logic with simplified bowls and short apertures. Numerals follow the same squared, compact construction, matching the alphabet closely for cohesive headlines.
