A compact, heavyweight sans with tightly compressed proportions and a tall vertical stance. Strokes are largely monoline and terminate in blunt, squared ends, while curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls that keep counters compact and geometric. The overall rhythm is dense and uniform, with narrow apertures and minimal interior space, producing strong vertical texture in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and letters share the same sturdy, stacked construction, favoring stability and consistent mass over calligraphic nuance.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and punchy editorial callouts where space is limited but visual impact is required. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging systems that benefit from a compact footprint and clear, sturdy silhouettes, and can support sports or team-style branding that leans on bold, compressed letterforms.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-ready presence. Its compressed geometry and blocky shapes evoke utilitarian labeling, classic sports/varsity energy, and mid-century display typography where impact and immediacy matter most.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using compact superellipse-derived forms and blunt terminals for a strong, uniform texture. The emphasis appears to be on durable shapes, consistent weight, and straightforward legibility at display sizes.
In text, the dense counters and narrow apertures create a dark, continuous color that reads best at larger sizes or with generous tracking. The lowercase maintains the same muscular construction as the uppercase, reinforcing a unified, signage-like voice rather than a book-text feel.
