A compact, heavy sans with squared-off, superellipse-inspired rounds and consistently blunt terminals. Counters are tight and apertures tend toward closed, giving the letters a dense, high-impact texture. Curves read as rounded rectangles rather than circles, and straight strokes stay uniform, producing a sturdy, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s vertical emphasis with a large x-height and simplified details, while figures are bold and tightly fit with clear, chunky silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where maximum presence is needed—posters, signage, packaging, and bold UI labels. It also fits sports and entertainment branding, where a dense, muscular word shape helps carry through at distance and in high-contrast layouts.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting a confident, workmanlike voice. Its compressed massing and blocky curves feel contemporary and urban, with an athletic, headline-forward energy.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, space-efficient emphasis with a modern, geometric flavor. Its simplified forms and tight counters suggest a focus on durability and clarity in display settings rather than delicate detail.
Round letters like O/C/G/Q keep a squarish bowl with softened corners, and joins are generally direct rather than calligraphic. The overall color on the page is dark and even, favoring impact over airy readability at small sizes.
