A condensed, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like bowls and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are thick and even, with tight internal counters and a tall, vertical stance that emphasizes economy of space. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles, giving letters a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are largely flat and blunt, and the overall rhythm is uniform and strongly modular, reading as a solid wall of black at display sizes.
Best suited to large sizes where its compact width and heavy weight can deliver maximum impact—headlines, posters, wayfinding, and bold packaging statements. It also fits sports and event branding, labels, and UI moments that need emphatic, space-saving typography (badges, nav titles, or promotional banners).
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a retro-industrial flavor that feels at home in signage and equipment labeling. Its condensed proportions and squared curves add a sporty, authoritative edge, suggesting strength, urgency, and practicality rather than softness or elegance.
The font appears designed to combine high-impact weight with condensed width, using rounded-rectangle construction to maintain clarity while projecting a sturdy, industrial character. Its geometry prioritizes consistency and presence, aiming for quick recognition in short bursts of text.
The design favors strong verticals and simplified geometry, which boosts impact but also reduces whitespace inside letters; this can make dense paragraphs feel dark. The sample text shows good headline presence, with distinctive, squared-off round letters and numerals that keep a consistent, compact footprint.
