A compact, vertically oriented sans with heavy strokes and tightly drawn proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle shapes rather than true circles, giving counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation and a consistent stroke rhythm throughout. The overall texture is dense and uniform, producing strong headline color and crisp, poster-like presence.
Best suited to high-impact display settings where space is tight and strong emphasis is needed—headlines, posters, bold editorial callouts, packaging panels, and punchy brand marks. It also works well for signage-style messages and short, all-caps lines where dense texture and quick recognition are priorities.
The font projects an assertive, no-nonsense tone with a contemporary, utilitarian edge. Its compressed geometry and solid weight feel confident and attention-grabbing, leaning toward sports, editorial, and signage energy rather than subtlety or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compressed footprint, using rounded-rect geometry to maintain clarity while keeping a strong, contemporary blockiness. It aims for a consistent, repeatable structure that reads decisively at large sizes and in tight layouts.
Round letters such as O/Q and bowls in B/P/R read as rounded blocks, while diagonals (A/V/W/X/Y) keep a sharp, engineered feel. Numerals match the same compact, sturdy construction, supporting consistent typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
