A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are predominantly monoline in feel but with deliberate contrast created by tapered joins and narrowed internal counters, giving many letters a chiseled, cut-out look. Curves are squared-off into rounded-rectangle shapes, with flat terminals and consistent corner radii that keep the texture uniform. Counters are tight and rectangular, and the overall silhouette reads clean and compact, optimized for bold, stacked settings.
Works best for short-to-medium display copy such as headlines, posters, logos, and bold brand statements where compact width and high impact are desired. It can also suit packaging, signage, and sports/industrial-themed graphics where a strong vertical rhythm and dense texture help text hold attention.
The tone is assertive and graphic, with a distinctly industrial and retro-modern flavor that nods to Art Deco and sign lettering. Its compressed width and dark color create a commanding presence, suited to attention-grabbing communication rather than subtlety. The squared curves add a engineered, machined character that feels disciplined and purposeful.
Likely designed as a condensed, high-impact display sans that maximizes presence in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, engineered geometry. The squared curves and controlled contrast suggest an intention to evoke retro signage and industrial modernism with a clean, contemporary finish.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent, tall cap presence, while lowercase follows the same condensed construction for a cohesive voice. Numerals match the squared geometry and compact spacing, producing a dense, poster-like line when set in text. The sample paragraphs show strong word-shape regularity, with the tight counters and heavy weight producing a solid typographic block.
