This typeface uses compact, condensed proportions with a strong, even stroke weight and minimal contrast. Curves are tightened into slightly squared, flattened rounds (notably in C, G, O, and e), giving bowls a compressed, almost “pinched” feel. Terminals are generally blunt and clean, with a crisp, no-nonsense finish; counters are relatively small, and the overall texture is dense and dark. The uppercase is tall and commanding, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, single-storey a and g and a compact, utilitarian rhythm. Numerals are similarly condensed and heavy, designed to hold their shape clearly at display sizes.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics where a compact footprint and strong emphasis are useful. It can also work for subheads and labels when set with comfortable leading and not overly tight tracking.
The overall tone is forceful and condensed, reading as modern and practical rather than delicate. Its tight, heavy presence suggests efficiency and impact—suited to messaging that needs to feel direct, disciplined, and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to provide a high-impact condensed voice with sturdy, simplified shapes that reproduce consistently. Its tightened bowls and blunt terminals prioritize strong silhouettes and space efficiency for attention-focused typography.
Many letters show subtly flattened curves and restrained apertures, which increases a compact, poster-like color across lines of text. The design favors strong silhouettes over open interior space, so it reads best when given adequate size or breathing room.
