A heavy, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves. Strokes are monoline and dense, with compact counters and tight apertures that emphasize mass over detail. Terminals are blunt and flat, and the overall silhouette feels carved into strong vertical blocks, with only modest rounding at corners to keep forms friendly rather than sharp. Numerals and capitals read as solid headline shapes, while the lowercase maintains a large x-height and compact bowls for a steady, uniform rhythm.
Best suited for bold headlines, posters, and punchy brand statements where compact width and high mass help text stand out. It works well for sports and event graphics, punchy packaging callouts, and attention-grabbing signage where a strong, condensed footprint is useful.
The tone is loud and confident, blending a retro display feel with an industrial, athletic punch. Its chunky forms and tight spacing project urgency and impact, while the softened corners keep it approachable and slightly playful rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rect geometry to keep the weight feeling controlled and contemporary. It prioritizes bold presence and rhythmic block shapes for display typography that stays legible and consistent at large sizes.
At larger sizes the font’s superelliptical rounds and square shoulders become a defining texture, creating a strong “inked block” presence. In extended text, the tight apertures and dense counters can darken the color, making it better suited to short lines and emphatic settings than long reading passages.
