A compact, condensed sans with very heavy strokes and clean, unbracketed terminals. Curves are broad and simplified, with tight counters and a strong vertical emphasis that keeps the silhouette tall and efficient. Round letters like O/C/G read as slightly squared-off ovals, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/N) feel rigid and engineered. Lowercase is plain and functional, with single-storey a and g, short extenders, and a straight, no-nonsense rhythm that holds up well at large sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It can work well for signage, labels, and packaging systems that benefit from a condensed, high-density typographic voice, and it pairs naturally with bold, graphic layouts.
The overall tone is confident and forceful, with a no-frills, workmanlike character. Its compressed width and dense color give it a sporty, industrial energy that reads as modern and pragmatic rather than refined or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, space-saving emphasis with simple geometry and minimal detailing. It prioritizes punchy legibility and a solid typographic “block” on the page, making it effective for bold display communication.
Spacing appears relatively tight, reinforcing the compact texture in words and headlines. The numerals share the same dense, heavy construction, keeping mixed text and figures visually consistent.
