A compact, condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a squared, rounded-rectangle construction. Curves resolve into superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving round letters a boxy silhouette, while terminals are mostly flat with subtly softened corners. Proportions are tall and economical, with tight apertures and a steady vertical rhythm; curves and straight segments meet with crisp, engineered transitions. Numerals and caps share the same sturdy geometry, producing a consistent, punchy texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and bold brand marks. The condensed build helps fit more characters into limited horizontal space while keeping a strong presence, making it useful for signage-style layouts and graphic titles.
The overall tone is strong and utilitarian, with a sporty, signage-like confidence. Its compact forms and squared rounds evoke a retro-industrial feel—part athletic lettering, part stamped display—making the voice feel direct, no-nonsense, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with minimal ornament, using squared, rounded forms to feel modern and engineered while retaining a retro display sensibility. It prioritizes clarity at large sizes and a compact footprint, emphasizing assertive rhythm and a sturdy, uniform stroke system.
The typeface maintains a disciplined, grid-like presence, and its tight internal spaces and blunt joins create a dark, high-impact typographic color. The lowercase keeps the same structural logic as the caps, reinforcing a cohesive, mechanical character across mixed-case settings.
