A compact, heavy sans with a strongly geometric backbone and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls. Strokes stay robust and consistent, with large counters punched into dense forms, giving the letters a sturdy, engineered feel. Terminals are predominantly flat and squared-off, while corners are softened rather than sharp, producing a blocky silhouette that still reads smooth. Proportions are condensed with short extenders and a prominent x-height, creating a tight rhythm that holds together well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short, high-impact messaging where the condensed width and heavy strokes maximize presence. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a strong, compact wordmark and clear, sturdy numerals.
The overall tone is loud and functional—confident, sporty, and a bit industrial. Its dense shapes and softened corners feel contemporary and workmanlike, suggesting strength and straightforwardness more than delicacy or warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a smooth, modern geometry. Rounded corners temper the mass, aiming for a contemporary, approachable take on a compact, utilitarian display sans.
The rounded-rectangle construction is especially evident in letters with bowls and in numerals, which read as sturdy, sign-like forms. The density and narrow set can build very dark typographic color in paragraphs, making it most comfortable where impact is desired over airy texture.
