This typeface is a condensed, heavy sans with squared-off, superelliptical curves and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are uniform and dense, producing tight internal counters and a compact rhythm across both cases. Capitals are tall and rectangular in proportion, while the lowercase maintains a large, sturdy x-height and simplified, geometric construction. Terminals are blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and a strongly vertical, upright stance that keeps words packed and punchy.
Best suited to headlines, short bursts of copy, and display settings where space is limited but impact is required. It works well for branding, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a compact, uniform voice and strong typographic blocks.
The overall tone feels forceful and utilitarian, with a bold, no-nonsense presence that reads as modern and industrial. Its compact width and solid shapes give it a sporty, headline-driven energy, suitable for messaging that needs to look confident and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay contemporary while remaining highly compact. It prioritizes bold presence and tight word shapes for attention-grabbing display typography.
The design favors clarity at larger sizes, with narrow apertures and tight spacing creating a dense texture in text. Numerals and uppercase share the same squared, rounded-rectangle logic, reinforcing a cohesive, engineered feel throughout the set.
