A compact, heavy sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly chamfered corners. Strokes are thick and uniform, producing dense counters and strong vertical emphasis. Curves in letters like C, O, and S feel more superelliptical than purely circular, while joins stay clean and minimally modeled. Terminals are mostly flat, and proportions are tightly set, giving the alphabet a tall, compressed rhythm; numerals match the same solid, geometric logic.
Well suited to headlines, short slogans, and display typography where a dense, punchy texture is desired. It can work effectively for packaging, labels, wayfinding, and brand marks that need a compact footprint and strong presence, especially in all caps or tight column layouts.
The overall tone is forceful and practical, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike presence. Its compressed mass reads as confident and attention-grabbing, leaning toward signage, sports, and industrial branding rather than delicate or literary settings.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectilinear geometry to keep forms friendly enough while remaining firmly industrial and bold. It prioritizes a consistent, high-density silhouette that holds up in bold display contexts.
Uppercase forms are particularly poster-like, with broad shoulders and narrow inner spaces, while lowercase keeps a straightforward, single-storey feel on forms like a and g. The font’s geometry stays consistent across letters and figures, prioritizing clarity at a distance and a strong silhouette over open counters at small sizes.
