A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions softened by rounded-corner, superellipse-like curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong vertical rhythm. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while terminals are blunt and clean. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g and simple, open construction; numerals follow the same blocky logic with tight interior space and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to bold headlines, posters, and punchy display settings where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It can work well for signage, packaging fronts, and sports or event branding that benefits from sturdy, simplified forms.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, leaning industrial and athletic. Its rounded-rectangle geometry adds a friendly practicality to an otherwise tough, poster-ready voice, making it feel both modern and slightly retro in a signage-and-stencil-adjacent way.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms coherent and approachable while maintaining a strong, functional presence.
In the sample text, the weight creates strong word shapes and a consistent dark texture, especially in longer lines. Tight counters and compact forms suggest it performs best when given breathing room in size and spacing rather than crowded at very small sizes.
