A condensed, square-rounded sans with a tall stance and tightly packed proportions. Strokes are heavy and mostly uniform, with crisp vertical stress and rounded-rectangle counters that keep curves controlled rather than circular. Terminals tend to be squared-off with softened corners, and several joins show small notch-like cut-ins that read as subtle ink-trap detailing. Lowercase forms are compact and utilitarian, with single-story a and g, a narrow e, and a tall, straight-sided rhythm that stays consistent across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display sizes where its compact width and sturdy forms can add punch without consuming horizontal space. It works well for branding systems that want a technical or athletic edge, as well as posters, packaging, labels, and signage where quick recognition and a strong silhouette matter.
The overall tone is industrial and purposeful, with a sporty, retro display feel reminiscent of signage and equipment labeling. Its compressed width and squared geometry create a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels technical and slightly mechanical rather than friendly or casual.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, using superelliptical geometry and controlled rounding to keep forms legible while feeling engineered. The notch-like join details suggest an emphasis on clean reproduction at larger sizes and a deliberate, industrial character.
The design maintains strong verticality and a consistent blocky silhouette, which helps word shapes stay even and dense in headlines. Numerals follow the same rounded-rectangle logic, producing a cohesive set that looks built for impact rather than delicacy.
