A compact, heavy sans with rectilinear construction and softened, rounded corners. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving O/C/G/Q and the numerals a superelliptical, rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes are broadly uniform, terminals are mostly flat, and the overall rhythm is tight, producing dense word shapes and strong vertical emphasis. The lowercase is straightforward and utilitarian, with single-storey a and g, short extenders, and squared joins that keep the texture firm and graphic at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. It works well for sports identities, event promotions, packaging callouts, and wayfinding-style signage, especially when space is limited and a dense, punchy texture is desirable.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense—athletic, industrial, and slightly retro. Its compressed proportions and sturdy shapes suggest urgency and impact, with a confident, signage-like presence that reads as assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using squared, rounded forms to stay friendly enough for branding while remaining firmly utilitarian. Its consistent, blocky construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and uniform texture for display-driven typography.
Round letters keep a distinctly squared silhouette, and apertures are relatively narrow, which enhances the compact, poster-forward character. Numerals match the same blocky geometry, maintaining a consistent, forceful color across mixed text.
