A compact, heavy sans with condensed proportions and a strong vertical stance. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with corners and terminals softened into rounded-rectangle shapes rather than sharp cuts. Counters are tight and often squarish, giving the curves (C, O, S) a superelliptical feel and producing a dense, high-ink texture. The rhythm is narrow and upright with short extenders and a tall lowercase body, keeping words visually packed and emphatic at display sizes.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and attention-grabbing signage. It also fits athletic and automotive-style branding where condensed, heavyweight typography is expected. For extended reading or small sizes, the dense counters and tight proportions may feel heavy.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense tone—confident and forceful with a contemporary industrial edge. Its rounded block geometry tempers the aggression slightly, reading more like modern sports branding or punchy retail signage than a purely brutalist headline face.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep the voice modern and approachable while still feeling strong and authoritative.
Round letters tend toward squared curves, and apertures/counters stay relatively closed, which increases darkness and impact but can reduce clarity in longer text. Numerals and capitals maintain the same compact, heavyweight footprint, helping headlines look uniform and tightly set.
