A compact, tall-proportioned sans with heavy, uniform strokes and subtly softened corners that give many counters and terminals a rounded-rectangle feel. Curves are tightened into superellipse-like shapes, while straight-sided verticals dominate, creating a strong, compressed rhythm. Apertures tend to be small and counters are dense, with minimal stroke modulation and crisp joins that keep edges looking firm at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, condensed build, producing a consistent, space-efficient texture.
Works best for headlines, posters, and bold typographic statements where tight width helps fit more characters without losing impact. It also suits logos, badges, sports graphics, and packaging or label applications that benefit from a compact, high-contrast-in-mass silhouette and strong presence at large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence suited to attention-grabbing messages. Its compact width and dense color evoke signage and sports or industrial branding, balancing toughness with a slightly friendly softness from the rounded corners.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow footprint, using a rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms sturdy, modern, and consistent. The goal appears to be a display workhorse that reads as bold and efficient while retaining a controlled, contemporary softness.
In the text sample, the weight and condensation create strong line presence and tight word shapes, making it most comfortable where impact matters more than airy readability. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially apparent in bowls and counters, keeping the style cohesive across letters and numbers.
