A condensed, heavy sans with softened corners and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) curves throughout. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with tight apertures and compact counters that keep letters feeling solid and packed. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while curved letters like C, G, O, and S show squarish rounding rather than true circles. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with single-story a and g, short-shouldered r, and a compact, squared-bowl e; numerals follow the same robust, blocky construction.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and punchy display settings where a compact footprint is helpful. It can work effectively for signage, packaging, and bold brand marks that need a strong, condensed presence, especially in short phrases and stacked layouts.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, designed to read as strong and compressed rather than delicate. Its squared rounding adds a slightly retro, utilitarian flavor—confident, poster-like, and a bit sporty—while staying clean and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow width while maintaining a friendly, engineered softness through rounded-rectangle curves. It prioritizes bold legibility and a compact rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
The compressed proportions and tight internal spaces create a strong vertical rhythm, making the font feel efficient and space-saving. In longer text, the density can increase darkness quickly, so it visually performs best when given breathing room through generous tracking or larger sizes.
