A compact, heavyweight sans with tall lowercase proportions and tightly contained counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and apertures a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than a purely circular one. Stroke endings are mostly blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and a consistent, dense color that holds together in large blocks of text. The set reads engineered and uniform, with a strong vertical rhythm and efficient spacing that favors impact over airiness.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where strong presence and space efficiency are needed. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefit from a bold, compact word shape, and for branding systems that rely on high-impact uppercase and matching numerals.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its condensed, block-forward shapes suggest modern signage and athletic or industrial branding, projecting energy and directness rather than delicacy.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint, using superelliptical rounding to keep forms approachable while maintaining a solid, engineered structure. The emphasis is on clarity and density for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round letters like O/C/G show flattened curves and compact interior space, while joins and diagonals (as in N, K, V, W) feel sturdy and tightly drawn. Numerals match the same squared-round construction and heavy texture, making mixed alphanumeric settings look cohesive.
