A condensed, heavy display face with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes. Forms are upright and compact, with narrow counters and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes often taper into subtle flares at terminals, and joins sharpen into pointed apexes on letters like A, V, W, and Y. Round letters (O, C, G) read as tall, slightly squared ovals, while punctuation and dots are solid and assertive, reinforcing the dense, poster-like color.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, editorial titling, and packaging where a dense, high-impact voice is needed. It can also work for logos or wordmarks that benefit from a compact footprint and a dramatic, contrasted silhouette, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and theatrical, blending a classic headline sensibility with a slightly retro, marquee-style punch. Its tight proportions and dramatic contrast project confidence and urgency, making text feel editorial and attention-seeking rather than neutral or quiet.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with assertive weight and noticeable contrast. The tapered terminals and sharp joins suggest a deliberate display strategy: keep the texture bold and dark while adding a refined, stylized edge for branding and titling.
Letterfit appears fairly tight and the internal spaces are small, so the face gains impact quickly at larger sizes. The numeral set matches the condensed, high-contrast rhythm, with particularly narrow forms for 0–3 and more sculpted shapes for 8 and 9 that add personality in running figures.
