A heavy, condensed sans with a blocky silhouette and consistently rounded-rectangle construction. Strokes are thick and even, with tight internal counters and small apertures that create a dense texture in text. Curves tend toward superelliptical bowls rather than true circles, and joins stay clean and straightforward with minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is compact and vertical, with short extenders and sturdy, squared-off terminals softened by rounding.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short, high-impact statements where strong presence is the goal. It can work well for sports branding, labels, and packaging systems that need a compact, space-efficient voice. For paragraphs, it will be more effective at larger sizes with generous leading to prevent the dense forms from feeling crowded.
The font reads loud and forceful, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike attitude. Its compact width and dense blackness give it a high-impact, poster-ready voice that feels sporty and utilitarian rather than delicate or refined.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the forms friendly while remaining bold and assertive. The consistent, sturdy construction suggests an emphasis on clarity at display sizes and a cohesive, industrial graphic tone.
In longer settings the weight and narrow proportions create strong horizontal bands of color, so spacing and line length will materially affect readability. Numerals and capitals maintain the same chunky, rounded-rect geometry, reinforcing a consistent, sign-like presence.
