A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark silhouettes and strong vertical emphasis. Curves resolve into superelliptical corners rather than true circles, and apertures tend to be tight, with short arms and simplified terminals. Spacing reads efficient and slightly tight, supporting headline set text and punchy single-word use.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where a condensed, high-impact word shape is needed. It also fits athletic branding, labels, and punchy signage, and can handle short bursts of copy in interfaces or UI callouts when set with generous leading and tracking.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, with a sporty, poster-ready energy. Its rounded-square geometry adds a friendly softness to an otherwise tough, industrial voice, giving it a retro display feel without becoming playful or whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing a condensed rhythm with rounded-square forms for legibility and a distinctive, industrial display character.
Capitals are particularly blocky and uniform, while lowercase remains tall and sturdy, maintaining the same squared-round logic across bowls and shoulders. Numerals follow the same dense, engineered shapes, helping maintain a consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
