A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with corners and curves softened into squared-off, superelliptical shapes that keep counters tight and consistent. Terminals are blunt and horizontal/vertical, producing a sturdy, poster-like texture; round letters (O, C, G) read as rounded rectangles rather than true circles. The lowercase is compact with simple, utilitarian forms, and the numerals follow the same narrow, blocky construction for a uniform rhythm in mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and punchy branding where compact width and maximum impact are needed. It also fits packaging and merchandise graphics—especially sports or industrial-themed designs—where a dense, authoritative texture reads clearly from a distance.
The overall tone is bold and forceful, with a utilitarian, industrial confidence. Its condensed heft and squared curves evoke vintage sports lettering and classic display typography, giving it a slightly retro but still pragmatic feel.
The design appears intended to deliver strong, space-efficient display typography: a condensed heavy voice with softened rectangular curves for a distinctive, unified silhouette. It prioritizes immediacy and bold presence while keeping shapes simple and repeatable across letters and numerals.
The dense letterfit and narrow apertures create a dark, continuous color that holds together well at large sizes. Short extenders and tight counters make it feel compressed and efficient, favoring impact over airiness in long passages.
