A compact, heavy sans with tightly drawn proportions and broad, uniform strokes. The letterforms lean on squared geometry softened by rounded corners, producing a superellipse-like silhouette in rounds such as O/C/G while keeping counters relatively closed and sturdy. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is dense with short joins and compact apertures that prioritize solidity over airiness.
Best suited for display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where strong presence and compact width are advantages. It can also work for signage and labels that need quick recognition at a distance, especially when set with generous tracking to open up the texture.
The font projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone—confident and workmanlike with a hint of athletic, poster-style energy. Its condensed presence and chunky shapes make it feel assertive and efficient, suited to messaging that needs to land quickly and decisively.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact within a constrained width, using rounded-rectangle construction to balance toughness with approachability. It favors clear, robust silhouettes and a dense typographic color for attention-grabbing, modern display typography.
Round characters read as rounded-rectangle forms rather than purely circular, reinforcing a constructed, engineered feel. The tight spacing and compact counters help create strong word shapes at large sizes, while small sizes may look darker due to the dense interior spaces.
