A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tight internal spaces. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superellipse feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even texture. The lowercase keeps a straightforward construction (single-storey a and g), while numerals and capitals share the same compressed, poster-like stance for consistent rhythm in all-caps settings.
Best suited to short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where a compact footprint is useful. It can work well for sports branding, labels, and bold signage that needs strong presence in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a no-nonsense, engineered character. Its condensed heft reads as energetic and competitive, leaning toward industrial and athletic cues rather than friendly or elegant ones.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility within a compressed width, using superellipse-based curves and blunt terminals to maintain a solid, uniform color. It prioritizes punchy display performance and a geometric, industrial clarity over delicate detail.
Because of the narrow fit and heavy weight, counters in letters like a, e, s, and 8 appear relatively small, which increases punch at display sizes but can darken quickly in dense text. The rounded-rectangle curves help keep the texture controlled and geometric even in the most condensed forms.
