A heavy, compact sans built from rounded-rectangle shapes with softened corners and near-uniform stroke weight. The forms are tall and tightly proportioned, with squared counters and straight-sided curves that read like superellipses rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and cut cleanly, with occasional narrow internal slots that add a subtly stenciled feel in letters like M and W. Spacing and rhythm are dense and forward-driving, optimized for impact at headline sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, logotypes, and branding where width is at a premium. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a tough, condensed voice and consistent, geometric shapes.
The overall tone is assertive and mechanical, combining a retro display presence with a utilitarian, industrial edge. Its compressed silhouettes and squared curves evoke signage, sports branding, and equipment labeling—confident, direct, and high-contrast in mass rather than stroke modulation.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry and simplified detailing to stay bold, clean, and legible in display settings.
Curves stay boxy and controlled across O/C/G and the numerals, keeping a consistent rectangular geometry. The lowercase remains sturdy and compact, with single-story constructions and minimal detailing that preserve clarity under tight horizontal space.
