A condensed, heavy sans with a squared-off, rounded-rectangle skeleton. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and corners are softened into tight radii that give the shapes a superelliptical feel. Counters tend to be compact and rectangular, apertures are relatively small, and terminals are mostly flat. The overall rhythm is vertical and packed, with tall proportions and tight internal spacing that create a dense, blocky texture in text.
Best suited to large-scale display settings where density and impact are desirable, such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and sports or industrial branding. It can also work for short packaging callouts and wayfinding-style signage, especially where space is limited. For long passages, the tight counters and heavy color are more likely to feel intense than comfortable.
The font conveys a tough, functional tone—more engineered than expressive. Its compressed width and stout strokes feel athletic and industrial, suggesting urgency and impact rather than subtlety. The rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh, adding a modern, manufactured polish.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangular geometry to stay contemporary while remaining highly legible at display sizes. The consistent stroke weight and compact apertures suggest a focus on clarity, durability, and strong visual presence in bold typographic layouts.
Uppercase forms lean toward straight-sided geometry, while curves (like C, G, O, S) read as rounded rectangles rather than circles. Figures are similarly compact and emphatic, with simplified, signage-like construction that stays consistent across the set.
