A compact, heavy sans with squared, superelliptical construction: curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals, giving letters a machined, stamped feel. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and the overall fit is tight, producing dense word shapes and strong vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively small and squarish, apertures are restrained, and joins stay crisp, emphasizing a blocky, geometric silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing branding where a dense, powerful texture is an advantage. It also works well for labels, packaging, and signage that benefit from compact width and strong silhouette, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is bold and assertive, with a retro-industrial flavor that reads as utilitarian and punchy. Its condensed heft and rounded-square geometry create an energetic, sporty presence that feels at home in high-impact messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangular geometry for a robust, industrial display voice.
The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms with compact bowls and short extenders, while numerals match the same rounded-rectangle logic for consistent color in mixed text. In longer lines, the dense spacing and small counters increase visual mass, favoring display settings over extended reading.
