A compact, heavy sans with tightly condensed proportions and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, and many curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shapes rather than fully circular bowls. Terminals are generally blunt and squared-off, producing a dense, poster-like texture; counters are small and tall, with clear rectangular rhythm in letters like E, F, H, and T. Uppercase forms feel rigid and architectural, while lowercase retains the same sturdy, compressed build with simple, utilitarian details.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and bold brand wordmarks where vertical space is limited and strong presence is needed. It can also work well for signage or attention-grabbing UI banners, particularly when set with generous tracking to relieve density.
The overall tone is forceful and functional, leaning toward an industrial, no-nonsense voice. Its compressed mass and squared rounding suggest contemporary signage and athletic or editorial display styling, prioritizing punch and presence over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a condensed footprint, combining blunt, rectangular construction with subtly rounded corners for a modern, engineered look.
The condensed width and heavy weight create a dark, even typographic color, especially in all-caps lines. Rounded corners soften the otherwise blocky geometry, keeping the style approachable while still feeling stern and engineered.
