A condensed, heavy sans with blocky construction and softly rounded corners. Curves are built from squarish, superellipse-like shapes, keeping bowls and counters compact and controlled, while vertical strokes dominate the rhythm. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, apertures tend to be tight, and overall spacing is efficient, producing dense, high-impact word shapes. Numerals follow the same sturdy, compact logic with simple, sturdy silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact footprint and maximum impact are needed. It also fits packaging and signage that benefit from condensed width and strong, simplified silhouettes, and it can work for short UI labels when used at generous sizes.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, industrial feel. Its condensed mass and squared-round geometry evoke sports branding, signage, and retro display typography, projecting energy and confidence rather than delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a compact, high-impact sans that stays clean and consistent under heavy weight. Its squared-round geometry suggests an intention to balance toughness with friendly rounding, optimizing for bold display messaging in limited horizontal space.
The narrow proportions create strong vertical emphasis and make text blocks feel tall and packed. At smaller sizes, the tight counters and closed shapes may reduce interior clarity, while at display sizes the uniform, chunky forms read as bold and cohesive.
