A compact, heavy display sans with tall, condensed proportions and a distinctly squared construction softened by rounded corners. Strokes are consistently thick, with counters and notches cut as narrow vertical slots and rectangular apertures, producing a strong, poster-like silhouette. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms rather than fully circular bowls, and terminals are blunt and flat, keeping the texture dense and even across lines. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with simplified joins and minimal modulation that prioritize impact over nuance.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, sports or event branding, and bold packaging callouts. It also works well for signage-style applications where condensed width helps fit long words into tight spaces, especially when set with generous tracking and ample size.
The tone reads forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, mid‑century signage, and compressed headline typography. Its narrow, blocky shapes feel disciplined and mechanical, while the rounded corners add a controlled, slightly retro warmth rather than sharp aggression.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangular geometry and carved apertures to create a memorable, industrial display voice. It emphasizes consistency and solidity, aiming for immediate recognition in titles and branding rather than extended reading.
Distinctive vertical cut-ins appear in several letters, creating a subtle stencil/slot effect that increases recognizability at large sizes but can fill in at small sizes. The numerals match the same condensed, squared logic, maintaining a uniform, authoritative texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
