A heavy, condensed sans with monoline strokes and a tightly packed, vertical rhythm. Counters and bowls are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving curves a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than circular. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and joins are crisp, producing a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. The lowercase is compact with single-storey forms and simplified details, while the numerals are similarly condensed and strongly uniform in weight.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other display settings where strong emphasis and compact width are advantages. It also fits packaging, sports branding, and signage systems that need high-impact, space-efficient typography.
The overall tone is loud and assertive, with a utilitarian, no-nonsense presence. Its compact width and dense blackness suggest urgency and emphasis, leaning toward sporty and industrial signage energy rather than refined editorial quietness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in limited horizontal space, combining blunt, monoline construction with rounded-rectangle curves for a modern, durable display voice.
The narrow proportions and short extenders concentrate texture and can make long lines feel dense; the face reads best when given room in tracking or set at larger sizes. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps the shapes friendly enough to avoid feeling sharp, while still staying decidedly bold and functional.
