A condensed, heavy sans with squared proportions and broadly rounded corners that push many curves toward a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) feel. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark silhouettes and a tight internal rhythm. Counters are compact and often vertically oriented, while terminals are blunt and clean. Uppercase forms read tall and blocklike; lowercase keeps a simple, utilitarian construction with single-storey forms and compact bowls, maintaining a consistent, impact-oriented texture across words and lines.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short, high-impact statements where its condensed mass and blunt shapes can carry visual authority. It also fits logos, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a robust, space-efficient sans with a modern, squared-round character.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its compact width and dense color feel confident and attention-seeking, leaning toward sports and headline energy rather than quiet refinement.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while keeping shapes clean and highly repeatable. The rounded-rectangle geometry suggests an intention to feel modern and engineered, balancing friendliness at the corners with an overall tough, blocky presence.
The design favors strong verticals and squared curves, which helps retain clarity at large sizes but can make spacing feel tight in long strings. Numerals are similarly compact and sturdy, matching the uppercase weight and stance for cohesive headline setting.
