A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy strokes and minimal modulation. Curves and terminals resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. The joins are clean and abrupt, with short shoulders and compact apertures that keep the silhouette dense. Numerals and capitals share a consistent, vertical rhythm, and the overall texture reads as a solid, uniform column of black with little sparkle.
Best suited for short, high-contrast applications such as headlines, posters, signage, and bold callouts on packaging. It can also work for sports branding and display typography where a compact footprint and strong vertical presence are desirable.
The font projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone: loud, efficient, and utilitarian. Its compressed proportions and blocky rounding evoke athletic lettering, industrial labeling, and high-impact headlines where urgency and strength matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space while maintaining a coherent, modern sans voice. By combining extreme verticality with rounded-rectangle curves, it aims to feel sturdy and contemporary rather than delicate or calligraphic.
The narrow set width and dense counters make it visually commanding at large sizes, while smaller sizes may feel dark and tight due to the compact apertures. Round letters like O/C/G skew toward squared bowls, which reinforces a mechanical, engineered personality.
