A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and a largely monolinear stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than circular forms. Vertical strokes dominate, terminals are clean and flat, and apertures run narrow, creating a dense texture and strong vertical rhythm. The lowercase keeps a high x-height with short ascenders/descenders, and the overall set reads as a cohesive, condensed display style.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and punchy short copy where density and bold presence are desirable. It also fits labels, packaging, and signage that need strong visibility in limited horizontal space, and works well for energetic branding or sports-style graphics.
The font conveys an assertive, workmanlike tone—confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro industrial flavor. Its compressed stance and blocky construction feel energetic and urgent, making statements look loud without relying on ornament.
Likely designed to maximize impact and legibility in tight widths by combining heavy strokes with compact, squared-round forms. The emphasis appears to be on creating a uniform, high-energy texture that holds up in large sizes and attention-grabbing applications.
Round letters like C, O, and G show squarish counters, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) stay sturdy and steep, reinforcing the tall, compressed silhouette. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, heavy construction, supporting consistent emphasis in mixed typographic settings.
