A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than fully circular arcs, giving letters a squared-off, superelliptical feel. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation and a steady vertical stress. Spacing is tight and efficient, and the overall rhythm is dense, with small apertures and sturdy joins that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-form copy where a condensed, high-impact voice is useful—posters, product packaging, sports or event branding, and attention-grabbing signage. It can also work for UI labels or navigation where space is limited and strong emphasis is desired, though the dense shapes suggest keeping sizes comfortably large for clarity.
The tone is direct and forceful, with a pragmatic, engineered character. Its squared curves and compact width evoke athletic and industrial signage aesthetics, reading as confident, no-nonsense, and modern rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, using squared-off rounded geometry to create a cohesive, contemporary voice. Consistent stroke weight and compact proportions suggest an intention to remain robust and legible in bold, display-driven applications.
Uppercase forms feel tall and poster-like, while lowercase retains a functional, compact silhouette with short extenders and restrained detailing. Numerals follow the same squared-round logic, matching the letters’ weight and presence for consistent headline setting.
