A compact, heavy sans with squared, superellipse-like rounds and consistently thick strokes. The overall construction favors straight segments and rounded-rectangle curves, producing boxy counters and tight apertures. Uppercase forms are rigid and vertical, with broad horizontal terminals; the uppercase I includes strong top and bottom bars. Lowercase shows a tall x-height and simple, sturdy shapes, while numerals are similarly geometric and compact, with squared bowls and clear, rigid structure.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks where condensed width and strong texture help conserve space and increase impact. It also fits signage, labels, and UI callouts that benefit from a firm, geometric voice at display sizes.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a disciplined, engineered feel. Its condensed, block-forward shapes read as modern and functional, leaning toward industrial signage and athletic branding rather than warmth or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a compact, high-impact sans that stays highly structured and consistent, using rounded-rectangle geometry to balance hardness with a controlled softness at the corners. It prioritizes bold presence and straightforward legibility in short bursts of text.
Curves tend to resolve into rounded corners rather than true circular geometry, creating a distinct squared rhythm across O/C/G and bowls in b/d/p/q. The diagonal strokes (K, V, W, X, Y) remain thick and stable, keeping a uniform color in text. Spacing appears tight and the design reads best when allowed some breathing room at larger sizes.
