A condensed, rectilinear sans with heavy strokes and squared terminals throughout. Counters are compact and often squarish, with several glyphs using cut-in notches and stepped joins that create a chiseled, stencil-like geometry. The overall construction favors straight verticals and crisp right angles, with minimal curvature, producing a dense, modular rhythm and strong vertical emphasis.
This design is well suited to headlines, posters, and title treatments where dense impact is desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefit from an industrial or athletic voice, as well as signage-style layouts where compact letterforms help fit more copy into limited space.
The font projects an industrial, no-nonsense tone with a retro display flavor. Its tight proportions and hard-edged detailing feel mechanical and forceful, lending a utilitarian confidence that reads as sporty and attention-grabbing.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using squared geometry and carved-in details to create a distinctive display texture. The design emphasizes a strong vertical rhythm and a mechanical, engineered feel while remaining straightforward and legible at headline sizes.
The uppercase and lowercase share a similarly rigid construction, with the lowercase remaining tall and compact, helping maintain a uniform texture in words. Numerals follow the same boxy logic, giving lines of text a consistent, poster-ready color at larger sizes.
