A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and tightly controlled curves. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense counters and strong, solid silhouettes. Terminals are blunt and squared-off, while rounds are squarish and softened, giving letters a superellipse feel. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with simple, compact forms and short extenders; punctuation and numerals share the same chunky, condensed rhythm for consistent color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of copy where maximum impact is needed—posters, sports and fitness branding, product packaging, and bold signage. It can work for short subheads or callouts, but the dense counters and compact spacing make it less ideal for extended reading at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, combining a utilitarian, industrial sturdiness with a sporty display punch. Its compressed width and massive weight create an urgent, attention-grabbing voice that feels contemporary and straightforward rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a powerful, space-efficient display voice built from squared-round geometry. It emphasizes strong presence and consistent texture, aiming for modern, practical legibility with a distinctly compressed, high-impact stance.
Spacing appears tight and efficient, reinforcing a compact texture in lines of text. The shapes prioritize clarity at large sizes, with narrow apertures and dense interiors that can begin to close up as size decreases or when used on complex backgrounds.
