A compact, heavy sans with a squared-off, superelliptical construction: rounds are pulled into rounded-rectangle shapes and corners are consistently softened. Strokes are uniformly thick with little visible modulation, creating dense counters and mostly closed apertures, especially in letters like C, S, and e. Proportions are tall and tight with short sidebearings, and terminals tend to end bluntly rather than taper. The numerals match the blocky, rounded-rectangle logic and maintain an even, poster-ready weight across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and sports or event branding where density and presence are assets. It can also work for packaging or labels that need maximum emphasis in limited horizontal space, particularly in all-caps or short mixed-case lines.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, combining a contemporary, engineered feel with the immediacy of headline display type. Its compressed stance and packed counters read as energetic and competitive, lending a sporty, promotional character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact width while staying clean and contemporary. Its superelliptical geometry and consistent stroke thickness suggest a focus on bold readability and a controlled, industrial aesthetic rather than typographic delicacy.
At larger sizes the consistent rounding and compact rhythm feel intentional and cohesive; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and dense interior spaces may reduce clarity in extended text. The uppercase is especially commanding, while the lowercase retains the same sturdy, condensed stance for a unified texture in mixed-case settings.
