A compact, heavy display face with a tall, condensed footprint and blunt, mostly straight-sided forms. Strokes show subtle modulation and occasional tapered joins, creating crisp internal notches in counters and at junctions rather than smooth, fully geometric curves. The uppercase set feels particularly monolithic, with squared shoulders and tight apertures, while the lowercase remains sturdy and simplified, leaning toward single-storey constructions and compact bowls. Numerals are similarly weighty and tightly fit, designed to hold together as solid shapes at large sizes.
Best suited to posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where its dense weight and condensed width maximize impact. It can work well for logos, badges, packaging callouts, and sports or event branding where a compact, forceful voice is needed.
The overall tone is bold and forceful, with a slightly vintage, poster-era flavor. Its dense color and sharp interior cuts give it an industrial, competitive energy that reads as confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed silhouette with distinctive interior carving to keep letterforms recognizable and energetic. The emphasis is on display clarity and attitude rather than quiet, extended reading.
Rhythm is driven by strong verticals and narrow sidebearings, producing a packed texture in text settings. The distinctive interior cuts and tapered terminals add character but also create a slightly restless texture in long lines, reinforcing its display-oriented intent.
