A compact, heavy sans with squared, rounded-rectangle contours and broadly uniform stroke weight. Corners are softened rather than sharp, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel, while terminals stay mostly flat and decisive. Proportions are tight with narrow letterforms, small apertures, and sturdy joins; rounded letters like O and C read as vertical ovals with controlled curvature. The lowercase is sturdy and minimal, with single-storey a and g, a short-shouldered r, and a strong, upright rhythm that stays consistent across text sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, poster typography, sports or team identities, packaging callouts, and wayfinding-style signage. It can work for brief subheads or UI labels where a strong, condensed voice is needed, but dense paragraph settings may feel heavy without added spacing.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning toward industrial signage and athletic branding. Rounded corners temper the aggressiveness, adding a pragmatic, engineered friendliness while keeping an authoritative presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a tight horizontal footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms coherent and recognizable. It prioritizes bold silhouette, consistency, and a rugged, display-forward personality.
Legibility is driven by mass and silhouette rather than open counters, so it performs best when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing. Numerals are tall and blocky, matching the caps in presence, and the punctuation adopts the same squared, compact logic.
