A compact, heavy sans with a squared-round (superellipse) construction and monoline strokes. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be small, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready texture. Terminals are largely flat with softly rounded corners, and curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than true circles. The uppercase set is tall and rigid, while the lowercase remains straightforward and utilitarian, with single-storey forms and minimal modulation. Numerals match the same condensed, blocky rhythm and maintain consistent stroke endings and corner radii.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, impactful word shape is useful. It also fits packaging, labels, and sports or industrial-themed graphics that benefit from a sturdy, squared-round sans. Use more generous tracking at smaller sizes to improve clarity.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a compressed, muscular presence that feels industrial and sporty. Its squared geometry and tight spacing cues evoke utilitarian signage and retro athletic or equipment labeling, delivering an assertive, high-impact voice.
The font appears designed to maximize impact in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms and flat terminals to produce a strong, utilitarian voice. Its consistent corner rounding and condensed rhythm suggest an intention toward bold display typography that remains clean and modern rather than decorative.
The design’s tight counters and compact proportions favor large sizes where the inner shapes can breathe; in longer passages at small sizes it can feel dense. The rounded-square geometry is consistent across letters and figures, creating a uniform, sturdy texture in headlines.
