A compact, heavy sans with squared, superelliptical construction and softly rounded corners. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense letterforms with minimal modulation and a strong vertical emphasis. Counters are relatively small and rectangular, while terminals tend to be flat and clipped, reinforcing a sturdy, engineered silhouette. The overall rhythm is tight and consistent, with a slightly mechanical feel that reads clearly at larger sizes and in short bursts of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where a dense, high-impact texture is desired. It also works well for signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks that need a compact footprint with strong presence. For extended reading or small sizes, the tight counters and heavy color may feel intense, so it’s most effective in short text blocks and titles.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that feels at home in sports, workwear, or performance branding. Its condensed, blocky presence suggests urgency and strength, leaning slightly retro without becoming decorative. The rounded-rectangle geometry adds approachability to an otherwise hard-edged voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed space using a consistent rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes bold legibility and a disciplined, modular construction, aiming for a practical, attention-grabbing voice for branding and display settings.
Rounded corners prevent the forms from feeling sharp, while the tall, compact proportions create a strong headline color. The digit set matches the same squared, robust logic, and the lowercase maintains the same structural severity as the uppercase, giving mixed-case settings a unified, punchy texture.
