A compact, heavy sans with tightly drawn proportions and a tall overall silhouette. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal contrast, and many curves resolve into squared-off, rounded-rectangle shapes that keep counters small and controlled. Terminals are crisp and mostly flat, with subtly softened corners that prevent the forms from feeling brittle. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with narrow apertures and firm joins that create strong dark color in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold callouts where space is limited but impact is required. It works well for packaging, labels, signage, and branded display systems that benefit from a strong condensed voice and consistent, hard-working shapes.
The tone is assertive and no-nonsense, projecting a utilitarian, industrial confidence. Its compressed build and strong weight feel attention-grabbing and energetic, leaning toward signage and sports-style emphasis rather than quiet reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width, using rounded-rectangular construction and sturdy stroke weight for clarity at display sizes. Its simplified details and dense texture suggest a focus on straightforward legibility and high-impact typographic emphasis.
The uppercase set reads especially tall and compact, while the lowercase maintains the same tight, engineered logic with simple, sturdy bowls and restrained openings. Numerals follow the same blocky geometry, designed to hold up at large sizes where bold presence matters most.
