This typeface is a compact, heavy sans with a tall, condensed silhouette and tight internal counters. Strokes are mostly straight and vertical, with rounded joins and corners that soften the otherwise blocky geometry. Curves in letters like C, O, S, and G are broad and open, while terminals tend to be blunt and decisively cut, producing a sturdy, poster-like rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders relative to the cap height, and a dense texture that holds together well at large sizes.
It performs best where impact and space efficiency are priorities—headlines, bold subheads, posters, signage, and brand marks that need a compact but forceful voice. The dense, blocky color also suits packaging and promotional graphics, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a contemporary, utilitarian energy. Its compact build and strong vertical emphasis suggest confidence and urgency, lending a sporty, industrial feel that reads as direct rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint while keeping forms clean and modern. It prioritizes immediate legibility and strong presence, aiming for a practical, attention-grabbing sans that works well in display settings.
Distinctive details include a Q with a small external tail and a straightforward, vertical-footed t that reinforces the typeface’s squared, pragmatic construction. Numerals are heavy and compact with simple forms and consistent weight, matching the alphabet’s strong, condensed color.
