A heavy, condensed sans with compact proportions and tight internal counters. Strokes are broad and mostly uniform, with subtly rounded joins and terminals that keep the dense silhouettes from feeling overly rigid. Curves on letters like C, O, and S are smooth and full, while diagonals (A, V, W, X) read steep and muscular. The overall rhythm is tall and pressurized, producing strong black shapes and short, sturdy apertures across the lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short, high-impact text where condensed width helps fit more characters per line without losing presence. It also works well for bold branding, packaging callouts, sports or event graphics, and punchy digital banners where strong silhouettes improve quick recognition.
The font projects a loud, no-nonsense voice with a slightly friendly edge from its rounded shaping. It feels contemporary and attention-grabbing, suited to energetic messaging where boldness and immediacy matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in a compact footprint, balancing dense stroke weight with rounded shaping for a modern, approachable toughness. Its consistent, simplified forms emphasize clarity and force at display sizes.
Lowercase forms are compact and sturdy, with a single-storey “a” and simple, utilitarian construction throughout. Numerals are equally weighty and space-efficient, designed to hold their presence alongside uppercase in headline settings.
