A compact, heavy sans with strongly condensed proportions and a rigid, vertical stance. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel. Strokes are broadly uniform with minimal modulation, and joins/terminals read as blunt and engineered, producing a dense, dark typographic color. Counters are relatively tight, especially in rounded letters, which reinforces the compressed rhythm and makes the face feel built for large sizes.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts where a narrow footprint is helpful. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that need strong presence from a distance, as well as energetic branding systems (e.g., sports or event graphics) that benefit from dense, vertical emphasis.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian—more commanding than friendly. Its compressed heft suggests headlines, signage, and high-contrast messaging where space is limited but impact is required.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a clean, sans structure. Its superelliptical construction and tight counters prioritize a tough, industrial voice and consistent rhythm across letters and numerals.
Round letters like O/Q and the curved portions of B/S show squarish internal spaces rather than fully circular forms, which adds a technical, structured flavor. The lowercase set appears straightforward and compact, matching the uppercase’s tight rhythm, while figures are similarly stout and attention-grabbing.
