A compact, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a distinctly rectilinear construction softened by rounded corners. Curves are rendered as squared-off bowls and superellipse-like rounds, giving letters a machined, modular feel. Counters are generally tight but kept open with clear apertures, and the overall rhythm is vertical and even, emphasizing straight stems and clipped terminals. Uppercase proportions are tall and narrow, while the lowercase keeps a high x-height with simplified forms that maintain legibility at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and large-format text where its condensed proportions and strong color can deliver impact. It works well for branding, packaging, labels, and wayfinding-style signage, especially in technical, industrial, or sports-adjacent contexts. Use with comfortable tracking and line spacing when setting longer phrases to avoid an overly dense texture.
The tone is utilitarian and forceful, with a disciplined, engineered character. Its compressed stance and squared curves read as modern and technical, while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh. The overall impression is sporty and assertive—more “equipment label” than “editorial voice.”
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient voice with a geometric, rounded-rect form language. It prioritizes uniform stroke weight and compact width to maximize impact in limited horizontal space, while maintaining clear, consistent shapes across letters and figures for practical display typography.
Round letters like O/Q and bowls in B/D/P are more like rounded rectangles than true circles, creating a consistent, geometric texture. The numerals follow the same compact, squared construction, giving mixed alphanumeric settings a cohesive, signage-like presence. In sample text, the tight letterforms create strong word shapes and a dense color that suits large sizes and short lines.
