A compact, heavy sans with squared, superelliptical curves and softly rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong vertical emphasis. The proportions are condensed, with tall capitals and a tight overall footprint; curves (C, G, O, S) read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and cut cleanly, and the numerals match the letterforms’ sturdy, compressed construction.
Best suited to headlines and display settings where space is limited but impact is required, such as posters, signage, packaging panels, and bold UI labels. The condensed proportions make it useful for tight layouts, while the dense color favors short bursts of text over long reading.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting strength and efficiency. Its condensed mass and squared curves give it an industrial, athletic feel that reads as assertive and attention-grabbing in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow measure, combining squared, rounded-rectangle curves with clean, flat terminals for a modern, utilitarian look.
Round characters stay controlled and boxy, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are sharp and energetic, helping the face hold up at large sizes. The lowercase appears relatively compact with sturdy joins, keeping texture dark and even in blocks of text.
