A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and broadly squared curves. Strokes are uniform and blunt-ended, with tight counters and minimal interior white space, giving a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S feel superelliptical rather than circular, while diagonals (A, K, V, W, X) are steep and muscular. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders and a single-storey a; overall spacing reads tight and efficient, optimized for impact in short lines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and high-impact typographic statements where a compact, assertive presence is needed. It also fits logos, sports and team branding, packaging fronts, and signage where space is limited but visibility must remain strong. For longer copy, it works most comfortably in short bursts such as callouts, labels, or section headers.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting a compressed energy associated with signage, athletics, and utilitarian branding. Its dense black shapes and squared-round geometry create a confident, slightly aggressive voice that feels modern and functional rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a condensed footprint, combining rounded-rect geometry with solid, uniform strokes for strong reproduction and clear, bold shapes. It emphasizes straightforward readability and high visual weight over nuance, aiming for a modern, workmanlike voice that holds up in display settings.
At larger sizes the font’s compact counters and tight apertures create a strong texture and a prominent vertical rhythm. In longer paragraphs, the heavy color and condensed proportions can make word shapes feel dense, suggesting best results with generous leading and careful tracking if used for extended text.
