A condensed, heavy sans with a compact footprint and tightly packed counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) geometry, giving bowls and rounds a squared-off feel rather than true circularity. Strokes stay consistently thick with minimal modulation, terminals are clean and mostly flat, and joins are sturdy, producing a strong, even texture. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian construction with short extenders and simple forms, while figures are equally blunt and robust for high-impact numeric display.
Best suited for headlines, poster typography, and branding where compact width and strong presence are advantages. It can also work on packaging and signage/wayfinding when set with adequate spacing to preserve clarity in its dense counters and narrow apertures.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, athletic energy. Its squared rounds and dense blackness feel contemporary and utilitarian, suited to messages that need to read as confident and direct.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, rugged voice. The consistent stroke weight and simplified details prioritize bold legibility and a confident, graphic silhouette.
The condensed proportions and tight apertures create strong vertical rhythm and high ink coverage, which can become visually dense in long passages. It reads best when given breathing room through tracking and generous leading, especially at larger sizes where its geometry becomes a defining feature.
