A compact, heavy sans with squared proportions and rounded-rectangle shaping throughout. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and corners are consistently softened, producing superellipse-like counters and terminals. The design relies on broad verticals, shortened horizontals, and tight apertures, creating a dense texture in text. Several forms show deliberate cut-ins and notches—especially on curved letters—adding a faint stencil-like, engineered feel without becoming decorative.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and wayfinding where a dense, powerful word shape is an asset. It can also work for sports branding and label-style graphics where compact width and strong forms help text hold up in busy layouts.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an athletic, industrial confidence. Its condensed, blocky rhythm reads as functional and attention-seeking, evoking scoreboard graphics, workwear branding, and retro-futuristic signage.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while keeping forms cohesive through rounded-rectangle geometry. The small notches and squared counters suggest an intent to add a subtle technical character and improve differentiation between similar shapes at bold display sizes.
Lowercase forms stay sturdy and simplified, favoring straight-sided bowls and compact joins for clarity at display sizes. Numerals are equally chunky and geometric, matching the alphabet’s squared-round construction and maintaining a consistent visual weight across lines of copy.
