This typeface is a compact, heavy sans with condensed proportions and a squared, superellipse-driven construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a solid, uniform color in text. Corners are subtly rounded rather than sharp, and bowls and counters read as rounded rectangles, giving letters a sturdy, engineered feel. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, with single-storey forms where expected and tight apertures that emphasize density and impact.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact copy where density and presence matter—posters, sports and team branding, packaging fronts, and bold signage. It can also work for subheads or callouts where a compact width helps fit more characters without losing weight.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike attitude. Its condensed, blocky shapes evoke industrial labeling and athletic branding, projecting strength and immediacy rather than delicacy or nuance.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in a tight horizontal footprint, pairing strong, uniform strokes with rounded-rectangle geometry for a modern, industrial clarity. It prioritizes bold readability and a consistent, hard-working texture over expressive calligraphic detail.
In running text the rhythm is tight and vertical, with strong emphasis on straight stems and squared curves. The numerals match the same compact, heavy construction, maintaining consistent presence alongside capitals and lowercase.
