A compact, tall sans with a strongly condensed footprint and sturdy vertical emphasis. Strokes are mostly uniform with subtly softened joins and corners, giving the outlines a rounded-rectangle, superellipse-like feel rather than sharp geometry. Counters are narrow and vertical, apertures tend to be tight, and the overall rhythm is dense and blocky with consistent stroke weight. Uppercase forms are clean and straight-sided, while the lowercase follows a simple, functional construction with minimal modulation and rounded terminals in key places.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where condensed width and strong weight help fit more characters per line while staying loud and legible. It also fits signage, wayfinding, and sports or team-style branding where a dense, authoritative voice is desirable. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable with generous line spacing due to its tight internal spacing and dark texture.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, balancing a hard-working industrial feel with a slightly friendly softness from the rounded corners. Its condensed proportions and heavy color make it feel urgent and attention-seeking, suited to messaging that needs to land quickly and clearly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using condensed proportions and sturdy, uniform strokes for clarity. Rounded-rectangle curves and softened corners add a controlled modernity, aiming for a balance of toughness and approachability in display-focused typography.
The numerals and capitals read as signage-forward with strong verticals and compact bowls, helping maintain even texture in all-caps settings. At larger sizes the rounded-rectangle logic becomes more apparent, while in text the tight counters create a dark, punchy typographic color.
