A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are monolinear and strongly geometric, with curves tending toward rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shapes rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and joins are clean and mechanical, giving the letters a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, with single-storey forms and minimal modulation; the figures match the dense, columnar rhythm for consistent texture across lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and bold branding systems where space is limited and a compact, emphatic voice is needed. It can also work for signage and UI callouts where strong letterforms help maintain clarity at smaller widths, though longer text will feel dense.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a pragmatic, engineered feel. Its tight, vertical rhythm reads energetic and disciplined, suggesting sports, workwear, or industrial labeling rather than delicate editorial typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow footprint while preserving a clean sans structure. By using rounded-rectangle geometry and blunt terminals, it aims for a modern, industrial look that stays consistent across letters and numbers in bold display situations.
Round characters like C, O, and Q retain a squarish footprint, and the punctuation and numerals keep the same blunt, compressed stance, which helps maintain uniform color in blocks of text. The design favors impact and coherence over airy openness, so it visually concentrates ink on the line.
