A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are uniform and dense, with tight internal counters that read as rounded rectangles, giving letters a punched, engineered feel. Curves on C/G/O/Q and the bowls of B/P/R are smooth but firmly squared-off, while diagonals in A/K/V/W/X are steep and weighty. Spacing appears tight and the overall texture is dark and even, emphasizing verticality and impact over openness.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and storefront-style signage where dense letterforms can create a strong visual stamp. It can also work well for sports or event branding and bold UI callouts when used at larger sizes.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a vintage industrial and athletic poster vibe. Its compressed, blocky forms feel confident and attention-grabbing, leaning toward signage and headline energy rather than refinement or delicacy.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in limited horizontal space while keeping shapes friendly through rounded corners. By combining compact proportions with robust, squared curves, it aims for a clear, hard-hitting display voice with a cohesive, industrial character.
Several lowercase forms echo the uppercase structure, reinforcing a uniform, billboard-like rhythm. Numerals follow the same compact logic with small counters and sturdy, squared curves, maintaining a consistent, mechanical silhouette across the set.
