A condensed, heavy sans with blunt terminals and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into squarish bowls and counters, giving letters a compact, carved look; round characters like O, C, and G read as softened boxes rather than circles. Strokes stay consistent and dense, with tight apertures and minimal interior space at text sizes, while punctuation and the dot of i/j remain sturdy and round. Figures follow the same chunky geometry, with a distinctive angled 4 and broad, stacked forms for 8 and 9.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, sports or industrial branding, labels, and wayfinding where condensed width helps fit more characters. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but the tight counters suggest avoiding long paragraphs at small sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, with a no-nonsense, industrial confidence. Its compressed width and blocky silhouettes evoke athletic wordmarks, signage, and headline typography where impact and urgency matter more than delicacy.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms friendly while still reading bold and authoritative. The consistent, compact construction prioritizes strong silhouettes and space efficiency for display-oriented typography.
The lowercase shows simple, single-storey forms (a, g) and short ascenders/descenders relative to the cap height, keeping lines compact. The W and M are especially dense and vertical, reinforcing the font’s stacked, poster-friendly rhythm.
