A compact, heavy sans with strongly vertical proportions and a tight, efficient footprint. Strokes are thick and uniform-feeling, with softened, rounded-rectangle curves that keep bowls and counters squarish rather than fully circular. Terminals are clean and blunt, joins are sturdy, and the overall rhythm is dense, producing solid word shapes with minimal sparkle. Lowercase forms are tall and sturdy, with relatively small counters in letters like a, e, and s, and figures follow the same condensed, block-like construction for consistent texture across lines.
Best suited to bold headlines, poster typography, and branding systems that need a strong, compact voice. It also works well for labels, packaging, and signage where space is limited but impact is required, and for large-format numerals in scores, pricing, or wayfinding.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a modern, engineered feel. Its compressed stance and heavy color read as confident and attention-grabbing, suggesting signage, sports branding, and high-contrast display messaging rather than delicate editorial work.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact in a narrow width while maintaining clarity through simplified shapes and rounded-rectangle curves. Its consistent, block-forward construction suggests a goal of strong, repeatable letterforms that hold up well in high-contrast display settings.
At larger sizes the rounded-square geometry becomes a defining characteristic, lending a contemporary “tech/industrial” flavor. In continuous text the density can feel intense, so it benefits from generous tracking and line spacing when used in longer headlines.
