This typeface is a heavy, condensed sans with uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circles, producing superellipse-like bowls in letters such as C, G, O, and a. Counters are compact and apertures are relatively tight, giving the text a dense, inky color and strong vertical rhythm. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, while the lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact e, and a short-armed f, reinforcing the sturdy, utilitarian structure.
Best suited to headlines and short-form display copy where its dense weight and condensed proportions maximize impact in limited space. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from an industrial, confident tone and high visibility at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and forceful with a contemporary, industrial feel. Its compact shapes and tight spacing read as energetic and purposeful, lending a sporty, no-nonsense voice that works well when you want impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence with a compact footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms consistent and modern. It prioritizes bold legibility and a strong typographic color for display-centric applications.
Roundness is expressed through softened corners rather than circular geometry, which keeps the face looking engineered and consistent at large sizes. The numerals follow the same condensed, block-forward logic, with clear, simple forms designed for quick recognition.
