This typeface is an extremely heavy, condensed sans with a squared, superellipse construction: round forms read as rounded rectangles and counters are compact and vertical. Strokes are broadly uniform, with crisp terminals and minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-ready color. Proportions are tall and tight, with short crossbars and narrow apertures that emphasize vertical rhythm. Lowercase forms are simplified and sturdy, with single-storey a and g, a compact, straight-shouldered r, and a pointed, descending y; numerals follow the same blocky, compressed logic.
Best suited for high-impact display work such as headlines, posters, event graphics, and bold packaging. The condensed width makes it useful when space is limited, including signage and attention-grabbing labels. For longer text, it will perform better in short bursts (subheads, callouts) at larger sizes where counters and apertures stay open.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a strong industrial and athletic energy. Its compressed massing feels confident and urgent, leaning toward headline-driven communication rather than nuance. The rounded-rectangle geometry adds a subtle retro signage flavor while keeping the voice modern and direct.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compact footprint, using squared, rounded forms to create a cohesive, industrial display voice. Its simplified shapes and dense texture suggest a focus on headline legibility and strong branding presence rather than comfortable continuous reading.
Spacing appears tight and the heavy weight closes in on inner spaces, so clarity depends on generous size and breathing room. The design’s consistent vertical emphasis makes it especially effective in all-caps settings, where the compact widths create a punchy, stacked look.
