A compact, heavy-weight sans with squared-off, superellipse-like curves and noticeably rounded corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and a strong, poster-ready silhouette. Uppercase forms are tall and tightly proportioned; lowercase is similarly compact with short extenders, a single-storey “a,” and sturdy bowls. Numerals are bold and blocky, matching the overall rectangular rhythm, while terminals stay clean and mostly flat with softened edges.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where high impact and space efficiency matter. It also fits branding for sports, workwear, and industrial or technical themes, plus packaging and labels that need a bold, compact voice.
The tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a slightly retro, utilitarian flavor. Its compressed, chunky shapes suggest industrial signage and athletic branding, projecting confidence and immediacy rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep the texture consistent and contemporary while retaining a utilitarian, sign-painter-adjacent solidity.
The tight apertures and compact internal spaces favor large sizes, where the rounded-rectangle geometry reads crisply and consistently. Spacing appears engineered for big headlines, keeping a steady, column-like rhythm across mixed-case text and figures.
