A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a distinctly squared-off, superelliptical construction. Curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, producing sturdy, vertical letterforms with minimal modulation. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are firm, and round characters (like O, C, G, Q) read as softened boxes rather than circles. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure with simple bowls and a single-storey a; spacing and rhythm feel tight and efficient, supporting dense setting and high-impact display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where a dense, high-contrast silhouette is desirable, such as posters, packaging, brand marks, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for interface labels or dashboards when space is tight and clarity at larger sizes is prioritized.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a contemporary, no-nonsense energy. Its compact proportions and squared curves suggest strength and practicality, lending a sporty, industrial voice that feels direct rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superelliptical shapes and uniform stroke weight to create a robust, modern display texture. Its forms favor straightforward legibility and consistent rhythm over calligraphic nuance.
The superelliptical geometry creates strong silhouettes and consistent texture across lines, while the condensed widths emphasize verticality. Numerals share the same squared-round logic, keeping headings and UI-style number strings visually cohesive.
