A condensed, heavy sans built from rounded-rectangle forms and straight, monoline strokes. Curves resolve into squarish counters with softened corners, giving O/C/G/Q and the bowls of B/P/R a superelliptical, almost "pill" geometry. Terminals are blunt and squared, joins stay clean and vertical, and the overall rhythm is tightly packed with strong, even color. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky construction, with simple, sturdy silhouettes designed to hold up at large sizes.
This face is best suited to headlines and short display lines where its compact width and heavy weight create strong impact. It works well for posters, signage, labels, and branding systems that need a sturdy, industrial voice and consistent, high-contrast silhouettes on simple backgrounds.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a retro-industrial flavor that feels at home in signage and display typography. Its compact width and squared-round construction read as modern-utility while still nodding to vintage poster and sports branding aesthetics.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow footprint while keeping letterforms highly regular and durable. Its rounded-rectangle vocabulary suggests a deliberate focus on bold, reproducible shapes for display use in branding and environmental graphics.
Distinctive traits include very rectangular interior spaces, minimal contrast, and a consistent rounding that prevents the forms from feeling harsh despite their density. The lowercase shares much of the uppercase’s architecture, creating a unified, all-caps-friendly texture when set in words.
