A compact, heavy sans with squared-round (superellipse-like) bowls and broadly uniform stroke weight. The forms are tightly drawn with minimal apertures and short, firm terminals, producing a dense color on the line. Curves feel pressed into rounded-rectangle shapes (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase bowls), while straight strokes stay rigid and vertical. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins are clean and mechanical, giving the alphabet a punchy, utilitarian rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, packaging callouts, and bold signage where dense letterforms help command attention. It can also work for logotypes and badges when a compact, hard-edged geometric voice is desired.
The tone is loud and assertive, leaning toward industrial and athletic styling. Its tight, compressed silhouettes and blunt geometry read as confident and no-nonsense, with a modern poster or sports-headline energy rather than a friendly conversational voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining a condensed stance with rounded-rectangular geometry for a contemporary, industrial look. The simplified, consistent stroke behavior suggests an emphasis on clarity and punch at display sizes rather than delicate detail.
The lowercase includes single-storey a and g and a straightforward, functional construction overall; the dot on i is square, reinforcing the blocky motif. Numerals are sturdy and headline-oriented, with simple, high-impact shapes designed to hold together under strong weight and tight setting.
