A heavy, compact sans with squared geometry softened by rounded corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark letterforms and tight counters. Curves read as superellipse-like rounds (not fully circular), while joins and terminals stay blunt and sturdy, creating a consistent, poster-oriented rhythm. Proportions are condensed overall, with relatively short extenders and a straightforward, utilitarian construction across letters and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact messaging where a condensed footprint is useful—posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for sports or industrial branding systems that need a sturdy, compact voice, while extended paragraphs may feel dense due to the heavy color and tight counters.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting strength and urgency. Its compact width and dense color give it a sporty, industrial feel that reads as confident and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with softened rectangular rounds for a modern, robust identity. The consistent stroke weight and blunt terminals prioritize clarity and forceful presence over nuance.
At larger sizes the rounded-rectangle shaping becomes a defining signature, especially in bowls and numerals, while the tight apertures and small counters make the texture feel solid and weighty. In longer lines the strong vertical emphasis and compressed spacing create an efficient, impactful block of text.
