A compact, heavy sans with condensed proportions and a squared, superellipse construction. Strokes are thick and even, with rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and counters and minimal modulation throughout. Terminals are blunt and clean, corners are slightly softened, and the overall rhythm is tight with short apertures and small internal spaces that emphasize mass. Lowercase forms read sturdy and simplified, with a high, prominent x-height and minimal calligraphic influence; figures match the same dense, block-like color.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display typography where maximum impact is needed. It works well for branding, sports or event graphics, packaging callouts, and signage that benefits from a compact footprint and a strong, dark typographic color.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, projecting toughness and urgency. Its dense black texture and squared curves feel modern and practical, with a slightly athletic, poster-driven energy that prioritizes impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-efficient voice with a modern, squared-round aesthetic. It prioritizes solidity and immediate readability at display sizes, using superellipse-like curves and condensed widths to create a strong, recognizable silhouette.
At larger sizes the rounded-rect geometry becomes a defining signature, giving counters a punchy, engineered feel. In longer text the heavy weight and tight apertures create strong emphasis, so spacing and size choice will be important to maintain clarity.
