A condensed, heavy sans with a tall, compact footprint and uniform stroke weight. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superelliptical) forms, giving counters and bowls a squared-off softness rather than circular geometry. Terminals are largely flat and blunt, with tight apertures and compact interior spaces that emphasize solid black mass. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with short extenders and minimal modulation, while figures are robust and legible with similarly squared counters.
Best suited to headlines and short statements where a compact width and high visual presence are useful. It works well for posters, branding marks and wordmarks, packaging panels, and signage systems that need strong legibility at a distance or in constrained horizontal space.
The overall tone is assertive and functional, projecting a strong, no-nonsense voice. Its compressed rhythm and dense color read as industrial and sporty, with a contemporary signage feel that prioritizes impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited width by combining condensed proportions with bold, squared-round construction. Its simplified, low-detail shapes suggest a focus on durable readability and a modern, utilitarian aesthetic.
The texture stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, creating an even, poster-like typographic color. Rounded corners keep the heaviness from feeling harsh, while the narrow set encourages tight, vertical compositions.
