A condensed, oblique sans with heavy, blocky strokes and tightly packed counters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) shapes, giving bowls and ovals a squarish, engineered feel rather than a purely circular one. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, with occasional stepped notches and clipped joins that add a rugged, stencil-adjacent texture. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with small apertures and simplified interior shapes that keep the silhouette bold and uniform across letters and figures.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, brand marks, and bold packaging or signage where the compact width helps fit more characters per line. It also works well for sports or industrial-themed graphics, titling, and UI badges where a strong, angular presence is desirable.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, sports graphics, and retro-futuristic display typography. Its oblique stance and squared rounding add momentum and attitude, reading as energetic and slightly aggressive rather than neutral or conversational.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, combining an oblique slant with squared, rounded-rectangle construction to create a tough, engineered display voice. The stepped cuts and blunt terminals suggest an intention to add texture and attitude without relying on decorative flourishes.
The design’s distinctive character comes from the combination of condensed proportions, oblique angle, and squared-off rounding in curved forms, producing strong rectangular negative spaces. At smaller sizes the tight counters and dense texture may reduce clarity, while at larger sizes the notches and block geometry become a key stylistic feature.
