A compact, blocky sans with rounded-rectangle counters and terminals that read as softly squared rather than fully circular. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with narrow proportions and tight apertures that create a dense, vertical rhythm. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls (notably in O, C, and G), while joins stay crisp and economical, keeping forms simple and highly graphic. Numerals match the uppercase weight and compactness, maintaining a unified, poster-oriented texture across lines.
Best suited to headlines and short display settings where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It works well for branding marks, sports or team graphics, packaging callouts, and bold editorial titling where a dense, compact texture helps create strong hierarchy.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its condensed heft and squared rounding evoke industrial labeling and vintage headline typography, leaning toward sporty and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or lyrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans voice that remains cohesive through squared-rounded geometry. By combining heavy strokes with condensed proportions and controlled superellipse curves, it aims for immediate legibility and strong presence in display typography.
The lowercase follows the same condensed, heavy construction, producing a strong, uniform color in text blocks. Round letters keep a controlled, squared geometry, while verticals dominate the silhouette, making the font feel tall and tightly packed at display sizes.
