A compact, heavy sans with squared-off silhouettes softened by rounded corners and superellipse-like curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a sturdy, uniform color in text. The design is strongly condensed, with tight interior spaces and short crossbars, while round letters (O, C, G) read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall geometry feels engineered and tightly controlled.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefits from bold, compact letterforms and a strong, uniform typographic color.
The tone is forceful and direct, with an industrial, no-nonsense presence that reads loud and confident. Its compact heft suggests durability and urgency, lending a sporty, poster-forward energy without feeling decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact condensed voice with a controlled, geometric feel, balancing blunt block forms with rounded-rectangle curves for a modern, engineered look.
The lowercase is built on a tall, sturdy structure with compact bowls (notably in a, e, g) and an overall closed-in rhythm that favors impact over airiness. Numerals and capitals share the same squared, rounded-corner logic, helping mixed settings feel consistent and sturdy.
