A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and squared-off counters softened by rounded corners. The letterforms are built from vertical, rounded-rectangle primitives, producing a tight rhythm and strong columnar texture in text. Curves in letters like C, G, O, and S resolve into flattened, superellipse-like shapes rather than true circles, and terminals are generally blunt with consistent corner radii. The lowercase features a tall x-height with short ascenders and descenders, and punctuation and numerals follow the same chunky, squared-yet-soft construction.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, and sports or event branding where condensed width and strong presence are useful. It can work for signage and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, industrial voice. For longer passages, it performs better at larger sizes with generous line spacing to offset the dense texture.
The overall tone is tough and energetic: bold, direct, and engineered rather than delicate. Its softened corners keep it friendly enough for contemporary branding, while the condensed, blocky stance suggests vintage athletic and industrial signage cues. The texture reads loud and confident, prioritizing impact over subtlety.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a space-efficient, condensed footprint, using consistent rounded-rectangle geometry to stay cohesive across letters and numbers. It aims for a sturdy, modern display look with a subtle retro and athletic flavor, optimized for bold statements and compact layouts.
In the sample text, the dense strokes and narrow set create a dark typographic color, especially in multi-line paragraphs. Openings and counters stay reasonably clear for such a heavy design, but the compact spacing and squared apertures give it a tight, compressed feel that becomes more intense at smaller sizes.
