A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a squared, superellipse construction. Curves are consistently rounded into soft rectangles, producing boxy counters and flattened bowls. Terminals are mostly blunt and orthogonal, with occasional notch-like cut-ins and stepped joins that add a slightly mechanical, stencil-adjacent flavor. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with strong emphasis on straight stems and minimal modulation, helping the letterforms hold their shape at large sizes and in high-contrast settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and logo/wordmark work where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It also fits sports branding, product packaging, labels, and tech-themed interfaces that benefit from squared, engineered forms. For longer passages, it will generally perform better at larger sizes with comfortable spacing to offset its tight counters and condensed build.
The overall tone is industrial and contemporary, leaning toward techno and sports branding rather than neutral text work. Its squared rounding and hard terminals feel engineered and utilitarian, projecting firmness and control. The slightly segmented details introduce a subtle “machined” personality that reads as modern and functional.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a cohesive rounded-rect geometry. Its consistent stroke weight and squared curves aim for a modern, manufactured aesthetic that remains legible and punchy in display settings. The small notch and step-like details help differentiate shapes and reinforce a technical, modular feel.
The font relies on rounded-rectangle counters and compact apertures, giving many letters a robust, closed-in appearance. Numerals share the same squared geometry, with forms that prioritize solidity and consistency over delicacy. The condensed proportions and tight internal spaces suggest it will look best when given adequate tracking and when used where strong silhouette recognition matters.
