A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circularity. Terminals are predominantly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation, creating a steady vertical rhythm and strong columnar texture in text. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins are clean and firm, producing high-impact silhouettes that stay crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems that need maximum impact in tight horizontal space. It also fits wayfinding, labels, and merchandise graphics where condensed, high-density letterforms help carry short messages with strong presence.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its dense, tall presence and blunt finishing convey urgency and authority, while the rounded-rectilinear curves keep it from feeling harsh or brittle.
The design appears intended to deliver bold, space-saving display typography with a disciplined, engineered feel. Its superelliptical rounding and blunt terminals suggest a focus on sturdy legibility and visual punch rather than delicacy or calligraphic character.
The lowercase maintains the same compressed, heavy construction as the caps, yielding a consistent color across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same tall, compact stance, supporting data-heavy or signage-like compositions where space efficiency matters.
