A compact, heavy sans with tightly proportioned capitals and a dense overall color. Strokes are strongly uniform with minimal modulation, producing crisp, block-like silhouettes. Curves are rounded but kept taut, while terminals tend to finish with straight, decisive cuts that emphasize a practical, engineered feel. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms with single-story a and g, generous interior counters for the weight, and a generally tight rhythm that stays legible at large sizes.
Best suited for display settings where impact is the priority—headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand marks. It also fits wayfinding or short, high-contrast messaging where a compact footprint and strong presence help text hold attention.
The font reads bold and forceful, projecting a utilitarian confidence rather than elegance. Its condensed massing and hard-cut terminals suggest signage, equipment labeling, and athletic branding, with an energetic, street-level directness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a compact width while keeping counters open enough for clarity. It aims for a modern, workmanlike voice with simple geometry, consistent stroke behavior, and strong readability in large-scale applications.
The sample text shows strong word-shape consistency and a pronounced visual density, with letterforms that stack cleanly in lines. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ compact, high-impact presence.
