A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and compact sidebearings. Strokes are monolinear and end in blunt terminals with subtly rounded corners, giving many shapes a rounded-rectangle feel. Counters are tight and simplified, and several joins pinch slightly, creating a rugged, high-impact rhythm. The overall texture is dense and vertical, with minimal curvature reserved for bowls and rounded forms.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, apparel graphics, sports identities, packaging callouts, and bold signage. It can work for subheads and emphasis text where a dense, commanding voice is needed, but it is less comfortable for long reading due to its compressed width and tight counters.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, reading as loud and confident rather than refined. Its dense black color and tight counters evoke industrial labeling and sports headline typography, with a slightly gritty, compressed energy.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a sturdy, contemporary sans structure. Its rounded-rectangle geometry and blunt terminals aim for a strong, modern display presence that stays cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
In all-caps and at large sizes it produces a strong, uniform columnar pattern; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and interior spaces can start to close up. Numerals and capitals share the same compact, block-driven construction, keeping headings visually consistent across mixed content.
