A compact, condensed sans with tall proportions and dense, uniform strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle forms, giving letters like C, O, and U a squared-off, superelliptical feel, while terminals stay blunt and clean. Counters are relatively tight and verticals dominate, producing a strong, poster-like rhythm with clear, upright structure. Numerals follow the same narrow, sturdy construction for consistent color in mixed text.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a tight, condensed width helps fit more characters per line. It can also work for signage and wayfinding when set with generous tracking and ample size to keep interior spaces from feeling cramped.
The overall tone is forceful and functional, with a no-nonsense, industrial confidence. Its compressed build and blocky rounding evoke sports graphics, warning labels, and modern utilitarian signage rather than delicate or literary typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual density and punch in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to stay modern while retaining a tough, industrial edge.
Round letters read more like softened rectangles than true circles, and diagonals (A, V, W, X) are kept compact to maintain the narrow set. The lowercase is straightforward and engineered, prioritizing uniform texture over calligraphic nuance.
