A compact, tightly spaced condensed sans with heavy vertical stress and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) construction. Strokes are largely monolinear with subtly softened corners, creating a sturdy, machined feel rather than a sharp geometric one. Counters are small and vertically oriented, and many curves resolve into squared-off bowls and terminals, producing a strong, uniform texture in setting. The lowercase is robust with simple, straight-sided forms, while figures are similarly blocky and built for consistency at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, short-form messaging, and branding where a dense, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well on packaging and labels, as well as sports or event graphics, where vertical economy and strong silhouette are priorities.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, reading as modern, industrial, and attention-grabbing. Its narrow, emphatic shapes suggest urgency and efficiency, with a slightly retro poster and sports-header energy.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superellipse-inspired rounding to keep the heavy structure approachable and visually consistent. The emphasis appears to be on bold, legible display typography with a clean, contemporary edge.
Round letters like O/C/G take on a squarish silhouette, and the rhythm is driven by tall verticals and compact interior space. The bold weight and tight apertures create dense word shapes that feel stable and authoritative, especially in all-caps and large headlines.
