A heavy, compressed sans with a squared, superellipse construction: counters and bowls read as rounded rectangles, and curves transition into flats with minimal modulation. Strokes are consistently thick, terminals are blunt, and corners are softly rounded rather than sharp. The lowercase is tall and sturdy with compact internal counters, while joins and crotches stay tight, producing dense, dark word shapes. Several forms use small cut-ins and narrow openings (notably in letters like a, e, s, and g), which adds a slightly stencil-like, machined feel without becoming a true stencil. Numerals follow the same compact, blocky logic with tight interior spaces.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks that need a dense, powerful presence. It can also work for signage and packaging where compact width helps fit more characters per line while maintaining a strong block of color.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian—more engineered than friendly—delivering a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its compact proportions and chunky silhouettes evoke athletic branding, industrial labeling, and bold editorial headlines where impact and immediacy matter most.
The design appears intended to maximize visual weight and space efficiency while keeping forms highly regular and geometric. By combining rounded-rectangle geometry with blunt terminals and tight apertures, it aims to read as modern, tough, and production-ready for bold display settings.
Because counters are small and apertures are tight, the face builds strong texture quickly and benefits from generous tracking at smaller sizes. In all-caps settings it forms a solid, uniform rhythm with clear, sign-like silhouettes and minimal flourish.
