A compact, tall sans with heavy strokes and tightly controlled proportions. Shapes are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: curves feel squarish and corners are softly radiused rather than fully circular. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color on the page. Counters are relatively small and vertical rhythm is strong, with straight-sided bowls and narrow apertures that keep forms sturdy in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a compact, high-energy sans with a sturdy, uniform stroke.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a slightly retro, athletic/industrial flavor. Its condensed, blocky presence reads as confident and no-nonsense, designed to command attention rather than disappear into body text.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, space-saving display voice built on rounded-rectangular construction. It prioritizes strong silhouette, consistent weight, and compact width to stay legible and assertive at larger sizes and in attention-grabbing contexts.
Round letters like O/C/G appear more superelliptical than purely circular, contributing to a squared-off modern look. The figures follow the same condensed, heavy construction, supporting cohesive headline setting. In the sample text, spacing feels tight and efficient, reinforcing a compact, poster-driven texture.
