A compact, heavy sans with tightly controlled proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Letterforms are built from squared-off, superellipse-like curves with subtly rounded corners, producing blunt terminals and robust counters. Curves on C, G, O, and Q read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles, while straight-sided stems and short crossbars keep the texture dense and uniform. Lowercase forms are tall and compact, with single-storey a and g, a narrow e with a small aperture, and a simple, upright construction throughout.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where space is limited and high impact is needed. It can also work for packaging callouts, sports or event graphics, and compact brand wordmarks that benefit from a dense, sturdy typographic color. For longer passages, its tight forms are most comfortable when set large with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a compressed “headline” energy that feels modern and industrial. Its dense silhouettes and squared curves give it a no-nonsense, attention-grabbing presence suited to bold messaging rather than delicate nuance.
The design intent appears focused on delivering maximum punch in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the shapes friendly but forceful. It aims for consistent, high-density texture and quick recognition in display settings.
Spacing appears tight in running text, creating a solid typographic color that holds together well at large sizes. Numerals are similarly condensed and blocky, matching the alphabet’s squared curvature and maintaining a consistent, sturdy texture.
