A condensed, heavy sans with blunt terminals and softly rounded corners that give many counters a rounded-rectangle feel. Strokes are largely uniform in thickness, producing a dense, even color, while the tight apertures and compact internal spaces emphasize solidity. Curves (C, G, O, S) are built from squarish arcs rather than circular bowls, and joins stay clean and simplified. Overall proportions are tall and compact, with short extenders in the lowercase and sturdy, rectangular figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where compact width and high impact are advantages. It works well for sports branding, bold packaging panels, and attention-grabbing signage, especially in short phrases and stacked layouts where vertical emphasis is useful.
The font projects a tough, utilitarian confidence with a sporty, poster-forward attitude. Its compressed width and blocky construction feel pragmatic and no-nonsense, while the rounded corners keep it from becoming harsh. The tone reads as bold and assertive, with a slight retro-industrial flavor.
The design appears intended to maximize punch in a condensed footprint, using uniform stroke weight and rounded-rectangle geometry to create a sturdy, modern display sans. The simplified shapes and tight spacing aim for immediate readability and strong presence in branding and promotional settings.
At large sizes it delivers strong impact and clear silhouettes; at smaller sizes the tight counters and dense weight may reduce clarity in letters like a/e/s and in the numerals with narrow openings. The rhythm is consistent and mechanical, with minimal modulation and a firmly structured stance.
