This typeface uses tall, condensed proportions with compact counters and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms, giving bowls and shoulders a squarish roundness rather than true circles. Strokes are largely uniform with crisp, straight terminals and clean interior cut-ins, creating a dense, poster-like texture. Uppercase forms are structured and rigid, while the lowercase keeps similarly narrow widths with tight apertures and simplified joins for clarity at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and bold brand statements where condensed width helps fit long titles without losing impact. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefits from strong verticality and compact wordmarks, especially when set with generous tracking to open up the texture.
The overall tone is forceful and modern, with an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its tight width and heavy presence read as confident and energetic, leaning toward sports, advertising, and utilitarian signage aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a consistent geometric voice. The superelliptic rounding softens the blockiness just enough to keep forms approachable, balancing strict structure with contemporary smoothness.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, producing strong word shapes and high ink density in running text. The numerals follow the same condensed, squared-round logic, staying consistent in color and stance alongside the letters.
