A compact, heavy sans with tightly set proportions and squared, superellipse-like curves that read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. Strokes stay broadly consistent, producing solid, poster-ready shapes with minimal modulation. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tight, giving letters a dense, compressed rhythm; terminals are mostly blunt, with softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp. The x-height is prominent and the lowercase maintains a sturdy, vertical stance, while numerals match the same condensed, block-forward construction for uniform texture across mixed text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, packaging callouts, and brand marks that need a condensed footprint. It can also work for wayfinding or signage where a bold, compact sans is required, especially at larger sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a contemporary, engineered feel. Its dense shapes and compact width create an energetic, no-nonsense voice suited to urgent messaging, bold branding, and sport or street-influenced aesthetics.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space by combining condensed proportions with heavy strokes and rounded-rectangular construction. The goal is a strong, modern display voice that stays legible and consistent across letters and numerals while delivering a compact, attention-grabbing texture.
In the sample text the dark color and tight internal space create a strong typographic “mass,” so it performs best when size and spacing give the counters room to breathe. The rounded-rectangle geometry lends a modern softness without sacrificing impact.
