A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and a distinctly squared-off, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into superelliptical bowls and corners rather than true circles, giving counters a slightly boxy feel. Strokes are thick and even, terminals are mostly flat, and joins are clean and abrupt, producing a sturdy, engineered texture. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is dense, with simplified forms and generous vertical presence that keeps lines visually strong in display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, and labels where dense, assertive letterforms are an advantage. It also works well for signage and wayfinding-style graphics that benefit from compact width and strong silhouettes. For longer text, it will feel intense and visually heavy, so it’s most effective in display roles or brief UI callouts.
The tone is tough and functional, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its condensed heft feels confident and direct, evoking sports graphics, workwear branding, and bold informational signage. The squared rounding softens the severity just enough to keep it approachable while still reading as forceful and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width, using squared-round geometry to create a consistent, modern texture. Its simplified construction prioritizes bold legibility and a disciplined, industrial aesthetic suited to branding and attention-grabbing typography.
Round letters like O, C, and G lean toward squarish bowls, while straight-sided letters maintain a consistent width and strong vertical emphasis. The lowercase stays compact and sturdy, and numerals match the same blocky, squared-round logic for a uniform, punchy set.
