A compact, heavy, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a strongly squared-off construction. Curves are largely replaced by rounded-rectangle and octagonal shaping, producing tight, rectangular counters in letters like O, D, and P. Terminals are blunt and flat, with occasional angled cuts that add a stenciled, machined feel. The overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, with short apertures and minimal interior space, creating dense, high-impact word shapes.
Best suited for display applications such as posters, punchy headlines, sports or team branding, bold packaging, and short-form signage. It performs well where narrow width and strong presence are needed to fit more characters without losing impact.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian tone—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly aggressive. Its condensed, block-built forms evoke industrial labeling, sports graphics, and headline typography where immediacy and force matter more than warmth.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, geometric system of rounded-rectangle forms. The lettershapes emphasize solidity and uniformity to read as modern, functional, and assertive in prominent settings.
The distinctive polygonal rounding gives the type a consistent engineered texture across caps, lowercase, and figures. At smaller sizes the tight counters and narrow apertures may darken quickly, while at display sizes the angular detailing becomes a defining stylistic feature.
