A heavy, condensed sans with compact proportions and rounded-rectangle geometry. Curves resolve into broad superellipse-like bowls, while terminals are clean and blunt, giving the outlines a sturdy, blocky footprint. The rhythm is tight and vertical, with short extenders and a relatively large x-height that keeps lowercase forms dense and legible at display sizes. Counters are small but clearly carved, and joins stay simple and functional, emphasizing mass and uniform stroke presence.
Best used where space is tight but impact is required—headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing captions. It also fits branding for sports or industrial themes, packaging panels, and short signage copy where bold condensed forms help maximize presence without expanding line length.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a contemporary, no-nonsense voice. Its compact width and chunky shapes read as energetic and sporty, suited to bold messaging where immediacy matters more than nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact measure, pairing rounded-rectangle forms with straightforward construction for clear, forceful display typography. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and dense color for branding and promotional use.
Round letters like O/Q show a squarish softness rather than perfect circles, reinforcing the superelliptic construction. The numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, poster-friendly silhouette, and the overall texture stays even across mixed-case setting.
