A heavy, condensed sans with monoline strokes and corners that soften into rounded, superellipse-like curves. The overall construction is compact and vertical, with tight interior counters and short apertures that keep the texture dense. Round letters read as squarish ovals, and diagonals (like in A, V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable, giving an engineered feel. Numerals are similarly compact, with simplified, robust shapes and consistent stroke weight.
Best suited to short-form display work where impact and economy of space matter: headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and bold packaging labels. It can also work for sports or utility branding where a compact, muscular voice is desired.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting strength and efficiency more than delicacy. Its dense rhythm and softened corners suggest an industrial, retro-utility sensibility—bold, practical, and attention-grabbing without ornamental flair.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual punch in a tight width while staying clean and modern. By combining condensed proportions with softened rectangular curves, it targets high-impact display typography that remains approachable and highly graphic.
At text sizes the tight counters and narrow apertures can make long passages feel dark, but the consistent geometry creates an even, poster-like color. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, reinforcing a strong vertical cadence across words.
