A compact, heavy sans with a squared, superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded rectangles and bowls feel boxy rather than circular. Strokes maintain an even thickness with tight apertures and firm terminals, producing dense, dark word shapes. The overall rhythm is condensed and vertical, with short crossbars and controlled curvature that keeps letters crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branded messaging where compact width and high impact are useful. It also fits packaging, labels, and short UI or signage strings where a sturdy, space-efficient voice is desired.
The tone is tough and utilitarian, with a sporty, engineered feel. Its compressed silhouette and squared curves suggest efficiency and strength rather than softness, lending an energetic, poster-ready presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, combining rigid, geometric structure with rounded corners for a modern, industrial look. It prioritizes bold legibility and a unified, engineered texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Counters are relatively small and the spacing appears tight, which increases impact but can reduce clarity in long passages. Numerals follow the same squared-rounded logic, reinforcing a consistent, system-like texture across text and figures.
