A compact, condensed display face with heavy strokes and subtly rounded corners that soften an otherwise blocky, squared construction. Curves tend to resolve into squarish bowls and arcs, giving round letters a superelliptical feel rather than geometric circles. Counters are relatively small and apertures are tight, creating dense color and strong presence in text. Terminals are mostly blunt, with occasional angled joins and crisp transitions that keep the rhythm lively and vertical.
Best suited for large-size applications where impact and tight spacing are advantages—headlines, poster titles, brand marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics. It can work for short blocks of copy at larger sizes, but its dense counters and compact apertures favor display settings over long-form text.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a retro poster and headline energy. Its compressed stance and dense texture read as confident and slightly industrial, with a sporty, attention-grabbing attitude that suits statement typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, combining a condensed silhouette with softened corners for a friendlier, more contemporary take on classic compressed display lettering.
Uppercase forms feel particularly vertical and column-like, while lowercase maintains a sturdy, simplified structure with compact bowls and short extenders. Numerals share the same condensed proportions and dark texture, staying consistent for headline and labeling use.
