This typeface is a condensed, heavy sans with blocky geometry and subtly rounded corners throughout. Strokes stay largely uniform, producing dense color and strong silhouette contrast against the page without relying on modulation. Curves on letters like C, G, O, and S feel more like softened rectangles than pure circles, while joins and terminals are mostly blunt and clean. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and verticals dominate, giving lines a compressed, high-impact rhythm.
It performs best in headlines, posters, and branding where condensed proportions help fit more characters per line while maintaining strong impact. The sturdy, uniform strokes also suit packaging and signage applications that benefit from a bold, easily recognizable word shape.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as modern and workmanlike. Its compact width and dense weight evoke contemporary sports, tech, and industrial branding where space efficiency and punch are priorities.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, using a geometric, softened-rectangle construction to keep forms clear and cohesive. It prioritizes strong, repeatable shapes and a steady typographic color for bold display typography.
The figures are bold and straightforward with simple construction, matching the alphabet’s compact proportions. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g with sturdy bowls, reinforcing the geometric, sign-like character and keeping texture consistent in longer text settings.
