A tall, tightly compressed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and a strong vertical emphasis. Forms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, with softened corners and mostly straight-sided curves that keep counters compact and consistent. The overall rhythm is dense and even, with short crossbars, tight apertures, and minimal stroke modulation; terminals are clean and blunt, contributing to a solid, poster-like texture in text. Numerals and lowercase follow the same narrow, squared construction, maintaining uniform weight and compact spacing characteristics.
Best suited for headlines and display settings where a compact footprint and high visual impact are needed, such as posters, sports branding, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold packaging panels. It can also work for short UI labels or badges when space is limited, especially with slightly increased letterspacing for clarity.
The font projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly industrial and performance-oriented feel. Its compressed stance and chunky construction read as assertive and energetic, lending a utilitarian confidence that suits bold, attention-grabbing messages.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow width, using simplified, rounded-rectangular forms to stay highly consistent across the set. Its emphasis on dense color and sturdy construction suggests a focus on bold messaging and space-efficient display typography.
Because the interior counters are relatively tight and the strokes are heavy, the design creates strong dark massing in longer lines; it benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing when set in paragraphs. The rounded-rectangle logic is especially apparent in bowls and shoulders, giving the face a cohesive, engineered character rather than a calligraphic one.
