A compact, condensed sans with heavy strokes and tightly packed proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squarish bowls and counters (notably in O, C, and G) and a generally blocky silhouette. Terminals are blunt and uniform, with minimal modulation and a consistent, poster-like color. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified, with a single-storey a and g and small, rectangular apertures that keep the texture dense and controlled.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It performs especially well when space is limited and a tall, condensed footprint is needed to maximize copy without losing visual weight.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, leaning into an industrial, athletic voice. Its compressed width and dense black texture create urgency and impact, reading as functional and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectilinear construction to keep forms clean, consistent, and highly legible at large sizes. Its simplified details and dense texture prioritize clarity and punch over typographic nuance.
The typeface maintains a strong vertical rhythm and compact spacing, which enhances impact at display sizes but can make long passages feel crowded. Rounded corners soften the mass slightly, preventing the forms from feeling purely mechanical while keeping the overall stance firm.
