A compact, heavy sans with squarish, superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and corners rather than true circles. Strokes are firm and mostly monoline, with crisp, straight terminals and minimal modulation. Uppercase proportions read tall and narrow, while counters stay relatively tight, producing strong ink density and a punchy silhouette. Lowercase forms are straightforward and utilitarian, with sturdy stems, short joins, and simplified shapes that keep rhythm even at large sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where impact and clarity are priorities. It also fits sports and industrial branding, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from compact letterforms and a squared-round, contemporary voice. For long-form text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes with generous spacing due to its dense counters.
The overall tone is industrial and athletic, leaning toward signage and performance branding rather than delicate editorial work. Its tight counters and squared-round geometry project strength, efficiency, and a contemporary, engineered feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, space-efficient sans with a distinctive squared-round skeleton that reads cleanly and consistently across letters and numerals. Its emphasis on compact proportions and tight apertures suggests a focus on high-impact display use and practical, system-friendly typography.
Round letters like O/Q and numerals favor a rounded-rectangle outline, and the flat-sided geometry repeats consistently across bowls and shoulders, reinforcing a cohesive, modular system. The font’s darkness and condensed caps give it strong presence, while the clean terminals keep it matter-of-fact rather than playful.
