This typeface uses compact, condensed proportions with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shaping throughout. Corners are broadly softened rather than sharply squared, giving counters and bowls a boxy, tubular feel, while terminals stay blunt and vertical. The curves are tightly controlled and the interior apertures are relatively narrow, producing dense, dark word shapes with a steady, mechanical rhythm. Lowercase forms appear sturdy and compact, with short ascenders/descenders and strong vertical emphasis; numerals match the same blocky, rounded-rect geometry for a consistent texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, event graphics, sports branding, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for punchy subheads or labels where a compact footprint and strong presence are desirable.
The overall tone is tough, direct, and utilitarian—more engineered than expressive. Its compressed stance and solid massing convey urgency and authority, reading as sporty and industrial while still feeling contemporary due to the rounded-rectangle construction.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while keeping a cohesive, modern superellipse skeleton. It prioritizes strong silhouettes, consistent blocky curvature, and a firm vertical rhythm for confident display typography.
At display sizes it maintains a uniform, punchy silhouette; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense spacing can make text feel heavy. The rounded-square construction is especially evident in letters with bowls and counters, which keep a consistent squarish curvature rather than transitioning to true circles.
