A condensed, heavy sans with compact proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes are thick and consistent, with squared-off terminals softened by subtle rounding, creating a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) feel in bowls and counters. Letterforms favor simplified geometry and tight apertures, producing dense word shapes and strong texture in lines of text. Numerals and capitals carry a uniform, poster-like weight, while the lowercase maintains solid, upright construction with short, robust extenders.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and branding systems that need a compact, high-impact voice. It also fits sports and industrial-themed graphics where dense, vertical word shapes help content stand out. Use with generous tracking and line spacing when setting longer phrases to preserve clarity.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, combining a no-nonsense industrial voice with a sporty, headline-driven energy. Its dense silhouette and rounded-block geometry read as confident and contemporary rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using robust, rounded-block forms for a modern, utilitarian presence. It prioritizes bold, legible silhouettes and strong rhythm for display settings and attention-grabbing typography.
The condensed width amplifies verticality and makes spacing feel tight and efficient, which increases visual impact at large sizes. Rounded corners keep the heavy forms from feeling overly harsh, but the small counters and closed shapes can make long passages feel dark and compact.
