A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and squared construction softened by rounded corners. Curves read as rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters and bowls a superellipse feel, while straight stems stay rigid and vertical. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, and spacing is tight, producing a dense, high-impact rhythm in words and lines. Numerals follow the same blocky logic, with sturdy, simplified shapes designed for bold display.
Best suited to large-size applications where density and impact are desirable, such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work well for signage or short UI labels when a strong, compact voice is needed, but its tight, heavy texture is less comfortable for extended reading.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a straightforward, no-nonsense presence. Its compressed width and chunky geometry evoke industrial labeling and athletic or headline typography, leaning slightly retro through its squared, softened forms.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms cohesive and contemporary while staying rugged and highly legible at display sizes.
The lowercase maintains a compact profile with single-storey shapes where expected, and punctuation appears sturdy and simplified in keeping with the family’s blocky voice. The design prioritizes uniformity and silhouette clarity over delicate detailing, making the texture of paragraphs feel dark and solid at larger sizes.
