A compact, vertically oriented sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a strongly squared construction softened by rounded-rectangle curves. Counters and bowls are tight and often squarish, giving letters like O, C, and D a superelliptical feel, while terminals stay blunt and clean. The lowercase is sturdy and simplified with short extenders and minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is dense, producing a tight, poster-like texture in running text. Numerals follow the same condensed, rectangular logic, reading clearly with strong silhouettes.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and bold titling where space is limited and maximum presence is desired. It can work effectively for packaging, sports or event branding, and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from condensed width and strong silhouettes.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, combining a modern, engineered clarity with a subtle retro signage attitude. Its compressed proportions and blocky curves feel decisive and controlled, lending a disciplined, no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact typography in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangular forms to balance hardness with approachability. Its consistent monoline construction and compact counters suggest a focus on strong, reproducible shapes for branding and display applications.
Wide apertures are generally reduced in favor of compact counters, which boosts impact at display sizes but can make long passages feel dark and packed. The design’s rounded-square geometry stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, helping it maintain a cohesive, branded look.
