A compact, condensed sans with tall proportions and heavy, even strokes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry: bowls and counters read as squarish with softened corners, while terminals end bluntly with minimal taper. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with narrow apertures and sturdy joins that keep letterforms dense and uniform. Numerals and uppercase follow the same solid, columnar construction, producing a consistent, punchy texture in lines of text.
This font suits posters, bold headlines, and branding systems that need a tall, compact wordmark. It works well for signage, event graphics, and sports or nightlife-themed communication where strong vertical emphasis and high impact are desirable. Short blocks of text, labels, and cover lines benefit from its dense, engineered presence.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, urban edge. Its compressed width and dense color feel energetic and attention-grabbing, leaning more toward signage and headlines than quiet reading. The rounded-corner construction adds a contemporary, engineered friendliness without losing the tough, commanding voice.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, modern construction. The rounded-rectangle curves suggest an intention toward a contemporary, technical aesthetic that stays approachable, optimized for display typography and strong typographic hierarchy.
The design emphasizes strong vertical stems and compact internal space, which increases impact at display sizes. The squared-off counters and narrow openings create a bold silhouette that remains recognizable in tightly set compositions, though the dense forms can feel intense when used for longer passages.
