A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and smoothly blunted corners throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark color and a tightly packed rhythm. Counters are relatively small and often squarish, while joins and terminals stay soft rather than sharp. Proportions are tall and compressed, with straightforward geometry and simple, utilitarian curves in round letters and numerals.
Best suited to large-scale display work such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand marks where tight horizontal space is a constraint. It also fits packaging, labels, and sports or event graphics that need strong impact and compact letterforms.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, industrial flavor. Its condensed heft gives it a sporty, poster-like urgency while the softened corners keep it approachable rather than aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle forms to create a cohesive, industrial-meets-friendly voice for attention-grabbing display typography.
The condensed width and heavy weight make spacing feel tight, especially in all-caps settings, while the rounded corners help maintain legibility at larger display sizes. Numerals follow the same rounded-rect logic, matching the uppercase well for bold, compact number-heavy layouts.
