A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and consistently squared terminals. Curves are tightened into superellipse-like bowls, producing narrow counters and a dense, vertical rhythm. Strokes stay largely uniform, with softened corners doing most of the shaping rather than calligraphic modulation. The forms lean tall and compressed, with short crossbars and closed apertures that emphasize solidity and impact.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging fronts, labels, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for UI banners or navigation where space is tight and a strong typographic voice is needed, but its dense counters suggest avoiding long passages of small text.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a poster-like urgency that reads as industrial and athletic. Its squared rounds and tight spacing feel modern and engineered, projecting toughness and confidence rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compressed footprint, using rounded-rect geometry to keep curves clean and mechanical. It prioritizes bold presence, uniform texture, and straightforward legibility for display-oriented typography.
The punctuation and figures appear designed to match the same condensed, block-first logic; numerals are sturdy and compact, and round characters like O/Q keep a squarish interior. The lowercase maintains the same rigid geometry, with minimal stroke flare and a strong, uniform texture across lines.
