This is a compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) counters. Curves are tightly controlled and corners are broadly rounded, giving bowls and terminals a squared-off softness rather than a geometric circle-based feel. The proportions are tall and efficient, with short extenders and a large, sturdy lowercase that stays close to the cap height. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is dense, producing a strong vertical texture and a highly solid silhouette in both text and numerals.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold packaging. The condensed build helps fit more characters into a line while staying punchy, making it effective for branding lockups, labels, and high-impact editorial display.
The font reads as loud and workmanlike, with a sporty, utilitarian confidence. Its softened squareness evokes mid-century display typography and industrial labeling, balancing friendliness (from the rounding) with a no-nonsense, high-impact presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint while maintaining a cohesive, rounded-rect geometry across the alphabet and numerals. It prioritizes legibility at display sizes through sturdy shapes, simplified details, and consistent stroke behavior.
Round letters like O, C, and G appear more like rounded rectangles than circles, and diagonals (as in K, V, W, X) are thick and straightforward, keeping the texture consistently dark. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky logic, supporting bold typographic statements and simple data styling.
