A compact, heavy sans with squared-off geometry softened by rounded corners, giving many counters and curves a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, and terminals are largely flat, creating a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. Proportions are condensed with a large x-height and short ascenders/descenders, producing tight vertical rhythm and strong color in text. Rounds like C, O, and Q read as broad, boxy ovals, while diagonals and joins (V/W/K) keep crisp angles without becoming spiky.
Best suited to display settings where dense, high-impact letterforms are desirable—headlines, posters, packaging, and bold identity work. The condensed build also helps fit more characters into tight spaces such as labels, apparel graphics, and signage where immediate visibility matters.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels at home in headlines and impactful messaging. Its rounded-rectangle construction adds a friendly, slightly retro sign-painting or sports-label energy, balancing toughness with approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact width while keeping forms clear and consistent through rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes strong typographic color and quick recognition for branding and attention-grabbing titles.
The font maintains a consistent, dense texture across mixed case, with lowercase shapes designed to stay wide-open and legible at display sizes. Numerals follow the same blocky, compact construction, matching the alphabet’s strong, uniform presence.
