A compact, heavy sans with a strongly vertical stance and tightly controlled proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a squared, superelliptical feel rather than fully circular geometry. Strokes maintain an even, monoline weight, and terminals are predominantly blunt with softened corners, producing a sturdy, poster-like texture. The lowercase shows simple, sturdy construction with single-storey forms and short, functional joins; numerals and capitals share the same condensed, high-density rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display typography, posters, and bold labels. It can also work for signage or UI moments that need emphatic hierarchy, especially where space is limited and a condensed footprint is beneficial.
The font conveys a tough, no-nonsense tone—confident, loud, and efficient. Its squared-round shapes and compressed width suggest industrial signage and athletic or headline-forward branding, with an emphasis on strength over delicacy.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a compressed width by combining monoline heft with rounded-rectangle geometry. The intention appears focused on clear, forceful display typography that stays visually consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Apertures tend to be tight and counters compact, which increases perceived density in text. The superelliptical rounding keeps the overall feel friendly enough for contemporary design while preserving a hard-edged, engineered character.
