A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and heavy, even strokes. Curves are resolved into rounded-rectangle forms, producing superellipse-like counters in letters such as O, D, and P, while corners stay softly radiused rather than sharp. Terminals are mostly flat and squared, and the overall geometry is vertical and compact, with relatively tight internal apertures and sturdy bowls. Numerals match the same narrow, blocky construction, giving the set a consistent, sign-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where space is limited and impact is needed, such as posters, signage, packaging, and bold branding lockups. Its compact width and sturdy forms also work well for labels, sports/industrial themes, and high-contrast layouts where a dense typographic texture is desirable.
The font projects a direct, no-nonsense tone with an industrial and slightly retro flavor. Its condensed, block-built shapes feel assertive and functional, leaning toward a practical display voice rather than a delicate or literary one.
The design appears intended to maximize visual strength and economy of space through condensed proportions and simplified, rounded-rectangular construction. It aims for a consistent, engineered look that stays legible at display sizes while delivering a strong graphic presence.
Round letters read as squared ovals, and diagonals (such as in A, V, W, X, and Y) are simplified to maintain a rigid, engineered rhythm. The lowercase maintains a similar structural vocabulary to the uppercase, reinforcing a uniform, compact color across mixed-case settings.
