A tall, compact sans with heavy, nearly monolinear strokes and rounded-rectangle curvature throughout. Counters are small and tightly controlled, with squared-off terminals that soften into subtle rounding rather than sharp corners. The overall rhythm is vertical and packed, with minimal modulation and a consistent, engineered geometry that keeps both caps and lowercase feeling sturdy and uniform. Numerals follow the same compressed, high-impact construction for tight setting and strong silhouette recognition.
Best suited for headlines and short lines where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space—posters, billboards, labels, and packaging. It also fits wayfinding and bold UI or editorial callouts where a compact, commanding typographic color helps information stand out.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, delivering a no-nonsense, high-impact voice associated with signage, sports, and industrial branding. Its compressed build and tight apertures create urgency and intensity, giving text a bold, commanding presence even at a glance.
Designed to deliver a dense, high-impact typographic color through compressed proportions and superelliptical rounding. The intent appears focused on bold display performance—strong silhouettes, consistent geometry, and legibility at distance rather than delicate detail.
Round letters (like O/C) read as superelliptical—more squared than circular—while joins and shoulders stay compact to preserve a dense texture. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike stance, and the overall set favors strong silhouettes over airy openness.
