A compact, heavy sans with tightly compressed proportions and a tall, commanding vertical stance. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry with softened corners and broadly even stroke weight, giving counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. Curves are sturdy rather than delicate, terminals are clean and blunt, and the overall rhythm is dense with strong black presence. Lowercase keeps straightforward construction with single-storey shapes where applicable and a sturdy, utilitarian texture.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where a compact footprint and strong presence are useful. It also works for wayfinding-style signage or sports/entertainment graphics, especially when set large and with controlled spacing.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, leaning toward industrial and athletic signage aesthetics. Its dense, compressed silhouette feels urgent and attention-seeking, projecting confidence and impact rather than subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to stay approachable while remaining tough and utilitarian. It prioritizes bold legibility and a strong silhouette for display-forward typography.
The condensed width and heavy weight create a high ink-to-space ratio, so interior counters can tighten quickly as sizes get smaller. The design reads best when given a bit of breathing room via tracking and generous line spacing in longer settings.
