A condensed, heavy sans with a squared-off, superellipse construction: rounded-rectangle counters, flat terminals, and broadly uniform stroke weight. Curves are tightly controlled and corners are subtly softened, producing compact bowls in letters like O, D, and P and a rectangular rhythm throughout. The lowercase shows a large x-height with short ascenders/descenders and sturdy, simplified shapes; apertures tend to be tight, and counters stay small and boxy. Numerals and capitals follow the same narrow, stacked proportions, emphasizing verticality and dense color.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where dense, vertical forms add impact. It also fits branding and packaging that want a tough, engineered voice, and works well for signage or labels where compact width helps conserve space.
The overall tone is strong and no-nonsense, with an industrial, sporty feel that reads as confident and functional. Its compact geometry and tight spacing cues suggest efficiency and impact rather than softness or formality.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using squared, rounded-rectangle forms to keep the voice modern and mechanical. Its simplified shapes and consistent stroke behavior prioritize bold legibility and a strong graphic silhouette.
The design’s narrow set and tight internal spaces create a dark, unified texture in text, making it especially punchy at larger sizes. Squared curves and consistent rounding give it a cohesive, engineered look across letters and numbers.
