A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled counters. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and curves are built from sturdy, slightly squared-off rounds that keep the silhouettes dense. The lowercase is relatively small against the caps, with short ascenders/descenders that reinforce a compressed, billboard-like rhythm. Terminals are clean and blunt, and several forms lean toward pragmatic, geometric construction rather than calligraphic detail.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports graphics, and bold brand marks. It also works well on packaging and signage where condensed, space-efficient emphasis is needed, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and direct, projecting a no-nonsense, workmanlike confidence. Its dense shapes and compact width read as energetic and urgent, giving it a strong headline presence with an industrial, sports-signage flavor.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space, prioritizing strong silhouettes, dense color, and simple, geometric construction for clear, punchy display typography.
The numerals and capitals feel especially weighty and attention-grabbing, while the small lowercase can appear more compact in mixed-case settings. Round letters maintain a consistent, sturdy curvature, helping the face stay cohesive at display sizes.
