This typeface is a compact, condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into softened corners rather than true circles, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superelliptical feel. Terminals are blunt and stable, joins are tight, and spacing is disciplined, producing a dense rhythm that holds together well at large sizes. Uppercase forms are tall and uniform; lowercase is sturdy with simple single-storey shapes and minimal calligraphic modulation.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short display lines where a strong, condensed voice is needed. It also works well for signage, labels, and bold branding applications that benefit from compact width and high visual impact.
The overall tone feels industrial and assertive, with a no-nonsense, signage-like confidence. Its squared geometry and tight proportions evoke a sporty, workmanlike energy that reads as practical rather than elegant.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, using squared, rounded forms to maintain a contemporary, engineered look. Its consistent geometry prioritizes clarity and uniformity for attention-grabbing display typography.
Numerals match the same rounded-rectilinear logic, with strong vertical stress and compact apertures that emphasize solidity. The font’s condensed width and heavy mass make it visually commanding, while the softened corners keep it from feeling harsh.
