A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and a tight, vertical stance. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with squared structure softened by subtly rounded corners that give counters a rounded-rectangle feel. Curves are controlled rather than fully circular, and joins stay clean and sturdy, producing a dense, poster-like texture in lines of text. The uppercase is firm and architectural, while the lowercase remains tall and sturdy with minimal modulation and short, functional terminals.
Best suited to large-scale typography where impact is the priority: headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold labels. It can also work in short bursts for packaging and sports or event branding, where its compact width and heavy weight help fit more characters without losing presence.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting confidence and urgency. Its condensed, blocky rhythm reads as energetic and slightly retro, with an athletic or industrial edge that suits attention-grabbing statements.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a narrow footprint, combining sturdy, squared geometry with softened corners for a modernized, friendly hardness. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent weight to keep text solid and readable at display sizes.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and compact, reinforcing a strong vertical rhythm and high ink density. Round letters like O and Q feel squarish in silhouette, and diagonal forms (such as V/W/X) keep a broad, stable footprint rather than sharp delicacy, maintaining a consistent, muscular color across the set.
