A compact, heavy sans with tall, narrow proportions and a tight, poster-like rhythm. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: curves feel like softened corners rather than circles, and counters stay relatively small, giving the design a dense, inky color. Strokes are mostly uniform with subtle modulation from the superelliptical shaping, and terminals are flat and blunt. The overall texture is strongly vertical, with minimal aperture opening in letters like C, S, and e, reinforcing a closed, powerful silhouette.
Best suited for large display settings such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand marks where a dense, compact footprint is an advantage. It can also work for short packaging callouts, labels, and punchy UI or editorial headings where strong vertical emphasis and high contrast against the background are desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a distinctly sporty and industrial flavor. Its squared-but-rounded construction reads modern and engineered, while the condensed stance adds urgency and impact suited to attention-grabbing messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compact width by combining condensed proportions with rounded-rect forms and blunt terminals. It prioritizes solid silhouettes and consistent, engineered geometry to stay legible and forceful at display sizes.
The numerals share the same compact, rounded-rect logic and hold up well at large sizes. Lowercase forms are sturdy and utilitarian, with single-storey shapes (notably a and g) that emphasize simplicity and mass. The tight inner spaces suggest it will look best when given a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing, especially in longer text.
