A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled widths. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than circular roundness. Terminals are blunt and verticals dominate, while joins stay clean and crisp to preserve legibility at display sizes. Overall spacing and rhythm feel tight and deliberate, producing dense, high-impact word shapes.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a dense, confident voice is needed. It also fits wayfinding and signage systems that benefit from compact word shapes and strong stroke presence, and can work well in sports-leaning branding and merchandise graphics.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a poster-ready loudness that reads as industrial and sporty. Its condensed presence adds urgency and authority, suggesting signage, headlines, and punchy statements rather than subtle editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, using squared, softened curves and uniform stroke weight to keep forms robust and consistent. It prioritizes bold presence and a steady, engineered rhythm for display typography.
Round forms like O and Q keep a squarish silhouette with softened corners, and the numerals share the same blocky, engineered construction. The lowercase maintains the same sturdy, compact feel as the uppercase, and the overall texture stays dark and even across lines of text.
