A heavy, compact sans with squared, block-like construction softened by rounded corners and curved joins. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with fuller verticals and tighter, tapered connections that create crisp internal notches in letters like S, a, e, and g. Counters are small and purposeful, apertures tend to be narrow, and the overall rhythm is dense and punchy. The lowercase keeps a simple, single-storey feel (notably a and g), and figures are similarly weighty with strong silhouettes and minimal interior space.
Best suited for short-form display settings where impact is the priority: headlines, poster typography, bold branding marks, packaging callouts, and sports or event graphics. It can work for subheads and labels at moderate sizes, but the tight counters and heavy color may reduce clarity in long passages or at small text sizes.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, mixing an industrial sturdiness with a slightly vintage display flavor. Its compressed heft and tight apertures read as confident and authoritative, suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and presence in a compact footprint, using contrast and tightened apertures to add character without resorting to decorative elements. It aims for a strong, contemporary-signage look with a hint of retro poster sensibility.
Distinctive details include the angular, compact bowls on B/P/R, a broad-shouldered M, and a Q with a short, blunt tail. The t has a chunky crossbar and the i/j use prominent round dots, reinforcing the font’s graphic, sign-like personality.
