A tightly condensed sans with heavy, nearly monoline strokes and a compact, vertical build. Curves and counters are formed from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving letters like O, C, and G a squarish softness rather than a true circle. Terminals are blunt and clean, with minimal modulation and crisp joins; the overall rhythm is strongly vertical with narrow sidebearings. The lowercase is tall and compact, with short ascenders/descenders and sturdy apertures, while numerals share the same condensed, block-forward proportions for consistent color in text and display.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact messaging where space is limited and bold presence is needed. It also fits logos, packaging callouts, event graphics, and wayfinding-style signage where a condensed footprint and strong silhouette help maintain clarity.
The font projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone—tight, loud, and engineered. Its compressed stance and solid black presence evoke industrial labeling, sports graphics, and modern poster typography, balancing toughness with a friendly rounded edge.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in a narrow width: a compact, highly legible display sans that stays visually consistent through rounded-rectangle construction and sturdy, monoline strokes.
In the sample text, the dense letterforms create strong texture and efficient line length, but the tight internal spacing and compact counters suggest it will feel most comfortable when given a bit of tracking, especially in longer settings or at smaller sizes.
