A condensed, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-influenced rounds and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and massive, producing compact interior counters and a tight, stacked texture in text. The proportions emphasize tall lowercase with short ascenders/descenders relative to the x-height, and overall spacing feels deliberately economical to keep lines dense and punchy. Curves in letters like C, O, and S read as rounded-rectangle forms, while straight-sided letters (E, F, H, N) keep crisp, vertical walls for a rigid rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where impact and space efficiency matter. It also fits branding applications like sports identities, product packaging, and strong navigational or promotional signage, especially where a dense, high-ink silhouette is desirable.
The overall tone is loud and utilitarian, with a bold, no-nonsense presence that reads as modern-industrial with a hint of vintage athletic display. Its compressed massing and squared curves give it a tough, engineered feel, suited to attention-grabbing statements rather than subtle typography.
The design appears intended to maximize visual weight and presence in narrow widths, pairing rigid vertical structure with softened, rounded-rectangle curves. This balances an industrial, engineered footprint with friendly corners, creating a display workhorse for bold messaging.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent blocky construction, with the lowercase designed to remain highly legible at display sizes despite tight counters. Numerals are similarly compact and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ squared-round geometry for cohesive headline use.
