A tall, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and tightly packed internal counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. The overall texture is dense and vertical, with minimal stroke modulation, firm joins, and clean cut terminals that keep edges crisp at display sizes. Numerals and lowercase follow the same compact, upright structure, producing a consistent, poster-like rhythm across mixed-case settings.
Best suited to high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, sports or event graphics, packaging callouts, and short signage text where a compact, vertical footprint is useful. It can work for subheads and UI labels when sizes and spacing are generous, but extended body copy may feel heavy and crowded.
The font reads as loud and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense tone. Its compressed stance and dense color evoke classic headline typography seen in sports, industrial labels, and attention-grabbing signage, balancing a slightly retro flavor with contemporary clarity.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space: a compressed headline sans that preserves legibility through sturdy shapes and consistent stroke weight, while adding character via superelliptical curves and tight, vertical proportions.
Because counters are small and the strokes are thick, the face tends to build strong “ink” on the line, especially in long words or tight tracking. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps the look friendly enough to avoid sharp aggression while still feeling tough and mechanical.
