A compact, heavy sans with an oblique stance and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are uniform and dense, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction shaping counters and terminals, producing smooth corners rather than sharp joins. The uppercase is tall and compressed with sturdy verticals, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, utilitarian skeleton and compact bowls. Overall spacing feels efficient and blocky, emphasizing solid black shapes and clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Best for bold headlines, posters, and branding where high impact and condensed width help fit more characters into limited space. It also suits sports graphics, labels, and packaging that benefit from a strong, engineered look and clear, chunky letterforms.
The face projects strength and urgency, with a punchy, energetic rhythm that reads as sporty and workmanlike. Its rounded-rect geometry softens the tone slightly, adding a contemporary, engineered feel instead of harsh aggressiveness.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a condensed footprint, combining an oblique slant with rounded-rectangle construction for a modern, industrial display voice. The consistent stroke weight and simplified shapes prioritize immediate recognition and strong typographic color in short text.
Round letters like O/C/G show squarish, superelliptical interiors, and forms like S and 2 lean into compact curves that maintain consistent weight. The oblique angle and condensed width create forward motion and high impact, best suited to short statements rather than long passages.
