A compact, heavy sans with tightly proportioned letterforms and broad, dense strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt with softened corners, and joins stay clean and sturdy, producing a uniform, poster-ready texture. Uppercase forms read tall and compressed, while the lowercase maintains clear shapes and a straightforward, unornamented construction; numerals follow the same solid, geometric logic for consistent color in mixed settings.
Best suited to bold headlines and short statements where density and impact matter: posters, editorial display, brand marks, packaging panels, and promotional graphics. It also works well for sports or industrial-inspired identities that benefit from compact width and a strong silhouette.
The overall tone is forceful and contemporary, with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its compact geometry and chunky presence suggest a utilitarian, performance-oriented attitude rather than elegance or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, using superelliptical rounding to keep the forms friendly while maintaining a tough, block-like structure. It prioritizes legibility at display sizes and a consistent, high-impact rhythm across letters and numerals.
The narrow set and strong vertical emphasis create efficient line fitting and a tight rhythm, especially in all-caps. Rounded corners soften the mass slightly, helping large headlines feel less harsh while staying firmly geometric.
