A compact, heavy sans with a condensed footprint and tightly controlled spacing. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with corners and curves softened into rounded-rectangle forms rather than pure circles. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tight, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready texture. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with simple, boxy bowls and a compact, two-arch “m” that emphasizes vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same robust geometry, with broad, stable shapes designed to hold up at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where compact width and strong presence are advantages. It can work well for signage and packaging that need high impact in limited horizontal space. For extended text, larger sizes and generous line spacing help maintain legibility due to the dense counters and tight apertures.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, projecting strength and no-nonsense clarity. Its compressed proportions and dense color feel sporty and industrial, suited to messaging that needs to sound confident and direct rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact measure, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms cohesive and contemporary. It prioritizes strong vertical rhythm and a solid, uniform texture for attention-grabbing display typography.
Distinctive superellipse-like rounding keeps the bold mass from feeling harsh, while the narrow set heightens impact in headlines. The heavy weight and tight interior space suggest it will perform best when given adequate size and breathing room, especially in long strings of uppercase.
