A compact, vertically oriented sans with monolinear strokes and squared, superellipse-like counters. Corners are subtly chamfered, giving curves a rounded-rectangle feel rather than true circles. Proportions are tight with short extenders and a high x-height, producing dense word shapes. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, and internal apertures stay relatively narrow, reinforcing a rigid, engineered rhythm across letters and figures.
Well-suited for headlines and short bursts of text where space is limited and impact is needed. It fits signage, wayfinding, labels, packaging, and sports/industrial branding where a tight, durable typographic voice helps information read quickly at a glance.
The overall tone is sturdy and no-nonsense, with an industrial, signage-like presence. Its condensed build and squared curves evoke retro technical lettering and sports/utility labeling, reading as direct and functional rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact, space-efficient typography with a disciplined, mechanical construction. By relying on squared curves, flat terminals, and consistent stroke weight, it aims for clarity and a distinctive technical character in display settings.
Uppercase forms emphasize straight verticals and clipped joins, while lowercase maintains the same blocky logic, keeping a consistent texture in text. Numerals follow the same squared construction and read clearly in a compact setting, with minimal stylistic flourish and an emphasis on uniformity.
