A compact, heavy sans with condensed proportions and a squared, superelliptical construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and counters, and joins stay sturdy with minimal modulation. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, keeping edges crisp while corners remain softened. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and “g,” tight apertures, and short extenders that reinforce a dense, poster-like rhythm. Numerals are bold and blocky, with simple, high-clarity silhouettes suited to large sizes.
Well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, storefront-style signage, and bold brand marks. It can work for subheads and callouts in editorial layouts when set with ample spacing, but its dense texture favors display typography over long-form reading.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, with an industrial confidence that reads as direct and no-nonsense. Its compressed width and thick strokes create a loud, attention-grabbing voice that also feels familiar in athletic, workwear, and retro signage contexts.
The font appears designed to maximize visual punch in a narrow footprint while preserving clear, simplified letterforms. Its rounded-rectangle geometry and blunt terminals suggest an intention toward robust, reproducible shapes that hold up in large-scale print and screen applications.
The design leans on squared counters and rounded corners rather than true geometric circles, which gives the face a distinctive stamped or engineered feel. In text, the tight spacing and compact internal shapes create strong dark texture, so it performs best when given generous tracking or used at display sizes.
