A tall, tightly set sans with extremely compressed proportions and heavy, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and bowls a squared-off softness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt with subtle rounding, and the overall construction leans on strong verticals and compact joins. The lowercase follows the same condensed skeleton with clean, single-storey forms where applicable, while numerals share the narrow stance and sturdy weight for consistent texture in sequences.
Best suited to posters, mastheads, impactful headlines, packaging callouts, and signage where space is limited but strong presence is needed. It also fits sports and entertainment branding that benefits from condensed, high-contrast-in-mass letterforms, while extended reading is better reserved for short bursts at generous sizes.
The font projects a loud, utilitarian confidence—more like stenciled signage or headline type than neutral text. Its compact width and squared-round curves create a disciplined, industrial tone with a slightly retro poster flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep the texture cohesive and contemporary. Its consistent weight and compact forms prioritize bold readability and a strong graphic footprint in display settings.
In blocks of text the rhythm becomes distinctly vertical, with dark columns and minimal internal whitespace. The narrow apertures and tight counters increase density, making spacing and line length important to maintain clarity, especially in longer passages.
