A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a predominantly straight-sided construction softened by rounded corners. Curves read as squarish bowls and superellipse-like rounds, giving letters a boxy, engineered geometry. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and joins feel sturdy and blunt rather than calligraphic. The x-height is high, counters are relatively tight, and overall spacing appears efficient, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text and headlines alike.
Best suited to display typography where compact width and strong presence are useful—headlines, posters, logos/wordmarks, packaging, and straightforward signage. In paragraphs it will create a dense, emphatic color, working most comfortably at larger sizes or in short bursts of text.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with an industrial, sports-signage energy. Its squared rounds and tight fit communicate strength and practicality more than elegance, making it feel direct and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using squared, rounded geometry and heavy strokes for a durable, contemporary voice. It prioritizes solidity and legibility in attention-grabbing applications over delicacy or extended reading comfort.
Round letters (like O/C) maintain a rectangular-oval footprint, while verticals dominate the rhythm across both cases. The numerals follow the same compact, chunky logic, with simplified, robust silhouettes that prioritize clarity at display sizes.
