A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tight internal spacing, built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Curves are squared-off and controlled, with shallow apertures and blunt terminals that keep counters small and dense. Strokes are mostly uniform, with subtle shaping where curves meet stems, creating a firm, poster-like rhythm that stays consistent from caps to lowercase and figures.
Best used where space is limited but impact is required—headlines, posters, packaging fronts, and bold callouts. It can also work for signage and sports or event branding where a compact, high-density line needs to remain legible at large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as modern and industrial. Its condensed stance and dense counters give it an urgent, attention-grabbing voice suited to bold statements rather than quiet nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint, using squared curves and tight counters to create a strong, contemporary silhouette. Its consistent, geometric construction suggests a focus on clarity and punch in display typography.
The font’s superelliptic construction is most evident in bowls and rounded letters, where corners are softened without becoming fully circular. Numerals follow the same compact, block-driven logic, maintaining a cohesive color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
