A compact, condensed sans with heavy strokes and squared-round (superelliptic) curves. Counters are tight and rectangular-oval, with rounded corners that soften an otherwise blocky silhouette. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and joins stay clean and geometric, giving the letters a consistent, engineered rhythm. Numerals and capitals share a tall, compressed proportion, and the overall spacing reads snug and efficient rather than airy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and brand marks where a compact, high-impact texture is desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that need a strong, space-saving word shape. For longer text, it works most reliably at larger sizes or with increased leading to keep the tight counters from closing in visually.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a contemporary, no-nonsense feel. Its compressed heft evokes industrial labeling and sports or equipment branding—confident, direct, and built for impact. Rounded corners add a slightly friendly edge without losing the disciplined, machined character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual strength in a condensed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep shapes consistent and contemporary. It prioritizes solid presence, straightforward letterforms, and uniform rhythm for attention-grabbing display typography.
Distinctive superelliptic rounds show up clearly in letters like O, C, D, and U, which feel more like rounded rectangles than circles. Several lowercase forms lean toward simplified, single-storey constructions, helping maintain uniform texture at display sizes. The compact interior spaces mean it benefits from generous line spacing when set in dense blocks.
