A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly consistent stroke weight. Curves and corners resolve into soft superelliptic terminals, giving counters a tall, capsule-like feel and keeping interior spaces open for the weight. The proportions are condensed with short crossbars and tight apertures, producing a dense rhythm in words while maintaining clear silhouettes. Numerals and capitals share the same squared-off, rounded geometry, yielding a cohesive, sign-ready texture.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and branding where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It works particularly well on packaging, labels, and wayfinding or signage applications that benefit from bold, rounded geometric forms. Short phrases, titles, and badges will show its punchiest character.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a slightly retro, utilitarian flavor reminiscent of mid-century signage and sports or industrial lettering. Its rounded corners soften the mass, balancing toughness with approachability. The condensed stance adds urgency and impact, making it feel energetic and attention-seeking.
The font appears designed to deliver high-impact display typography with a condensed footprint and a distinctive rounded-rectangle geometry. Its consistent stroke weight and simplified shapes suggest an intention toward clarity and reproducibility in bold graphic contexts. The overall system prioritizes strong silhouettes and a cohesive geometric voice across letters and figures.
The design relies on strong verticals and simplified joins, so it reads best at display sizes where the rounded-corner geometry and tall counters can be appreciated. In longer lines, the compact spacing and heavy color can create a solid typographic block, especially in all-caps settings.
