A compact, heavy grotesque with squared-off terminals and subtly rounded corners. Letterforms show moderate stroke modulation, with fuller verticals and slightly thinned joins that keep counters open at large sizes. Caps are tall and relatively narrow with a sturdy, poster-ready stance, while lowercase stays compact with short extenders and simple, workmanlike shapes. Numerals are sturdy and legible, with the 1 featuring a small flag and the 2/3 built from broad curves and flat finishing strokes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a strong, compact presence is needed. It also works well for brand marks and short editorial callouts that benefit from a dense, high-impact typographic color.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, blending an industrial practicality with a slightly retro, display-driven character. It feels confident and assertive, prioritizing impact and clarity over delicacy.
The design appears intended as a strong display grotesque that delivers maximum punch in limited space, balancing sturdy geometry with just enough stroke shaping to keep forms readable and lively.
The rhythm is tight and vertical, with a consistent, blocky texture that reads strongly in headlines. Openings in letters like C, G, and S remain clear despite the weight, helping maintain readability in short text lines.
