A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly enclosed counters. Strokes are largely uniform with subtle modulation, and curves are broad and simplified, producing a sturdy, block-like texture. Terminals read mostly blunt and squared-off, with small apertures and short joins that keep forms compact; rounded letters like C/O/S remain controlled rather than airy. Uppercase has a strong, sign-like silhouette, while lowercase keeps straightforward, workmanlike shapes with minimal calligraphic influence. Numerals are equally dense and upright, matching the overall compact rhythm.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and storefront or wayfinding signage where compact width is helpful. It can also work for labels, UI headers, and brand marks that need a dense, emphatic presence, while extended small-size text may benefit from generous tracking.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning toward industrial and sporty messaging. Its condensed strength and compact spacing give it an urgent, attention-grabbing feel that reads as practical and direct rather than delicate or elegant.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis in minimal horizontal space, prioritizing strong silhouettes and a consistent, sturdy rhythm for display and branding applications.
At text sizes the dense counters and tight openings can build a dark typographic color, especially in sequences with many rounded forms. The overall rhythm is consistent and stable, favoring clarity of silhouette over interior openness.
