A compact, condensed sans with tall proportions and heavy, even strokes. Letterforms lean on rounded-rectangle geometry: counters are tight and oval-to-rectangular, and curves resolve with softly squared terminals rather than fully circular bowls. The rhythm is vertical and stacked, with minimal stroke modulation and little internal whitespace, producing strong texture in lines of text. Uppercase forms are clean and structural, while lowercase retains simple, sturdy shapes with short ascenders/descenders and closed apertures in several letters.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks where dense, vertical energy helps information stand out. It also works well for sports or industrial-themed graphics, as well as punchy UI or signage callouts where space is limited and emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a modern, industrial edge. Its compressed stance and dense color give it an urgent, poster-like presence that reads as confident and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact and space efficiency by combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangle construction. The consistent stroke weight and sturdy shapes suggest a focus on strong reproduction across display sizes and assertive typographic voice.
The figures match the same condensed, block-forward construction, keeping a consistent color across mixed alphanumeric settings. In longer lines, the tight counters and compact spacing create a bold, continuous band of text, favoring presence over delicacy.
