A compact, heavy sans with sturdy verticals and broad, simplified curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even texture. Round letters like O, C, and G read more oval than circular, and many forms have relatively closed apertures (notably in e, a, and s), reinforcing the solid, built-up silhouette. Terminals are clean and mostly straight, with a slightly squared, engineered feel; the uppercase set is wide-shouldered and commanding, while the lowercase maintains a functional, no-nonsense rhythm. Numerals are large and weighty, matching the letterforms in color and presence.
Best suited to display typography where impact and compactness matter—headlines, posters, labels, packaging, and wayfinding or storefront-style signage. It can also support short bursts of text (tags, callouts, UI labels) when a strong, condensed voice is desired.
The overall tone is strong and workmanlike, with an industrial clarity that feels confident and direct. Its compact proportions and dense strokes give it an athletic, poster-forward attitude that can read slightly retro, like classic signage and team graphics.
Designed to deliver high visual weight in limited horizontal space, prioritizing clarity and punch for attention-driven applications. The forms aim for a straightforward, engineered look that holds up in bold statements and graphic layouts.
The typeface maintains a consistent, forceful typographic color across mixed-case settings, with punctuation and dots appearing stout and visually prominent. Curved joins and counters are kept generous enough to remain readable at display sizes, while the generally tight openings favor impact over delicacy.
