A compact, heavy sans with squared/superelliptical construction and generously rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing a strong, poster-like color, while counters stay relatively tight and geometric. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms (notably in C, G, O, and U), and terminals are blunt and clean. The overall rhythm is condensed and vertically oriented, with crisp joins, minimal modulation, and a consistent, engineered feel across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where bold, compact forms are advantageous—posters, sports/fitness branding, packaging, wayfinding, and strong UI labels. The dense stroke and tight spacing character make it more effective for display and titling than for long-form reading at small sizes.
The tone is tough and functional, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its compact width and blocky geometry suggest efficiency and impact, leaning toward sporty and technical rather than friendly or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using superelliptical geometry and rounded corners to keep the heavy weight feeling controlled and modern. It prioritizes clarity, uniformity, and a strong silhouette for attention-grabbing typography.
Capitals read especially rigid and architectural, while lowercase retains the same squared geometry with simplified details and short apertures. Numerals are similarly compact and robust, designed to hold up at large sizes where the rounded corners and tight counters become a defining signature.
