A compact, heavy sans with tall, condensed proportions and softly squared curves. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even color in text. Round letters lean toward rounded-rectangle construction, while diagonals and joins are cut cleanly and kept tight, giving counters a pinched, efficient shape. Terminals are mostly flat and vertical, and the overall rhythm feels tightly packed and sturdy rather than airy.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where density and punch are desirable. It also fits signage and branding systems that need a compact, space-efficient voice. For long text, the heavy color and tight rhythm may feel intense, so it works best when used sparingly or with generous spacing.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a hint of mid‑century sign lettering and sports/industrial branding. Its compressed width and blunt, compact shapes project urgency and impact, reading as confident, direct, and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while keeping forms friendly through rounded corners. Its geometry emphasizes compact counters and strong verticals to maintain clarity and consistency at large sizes in branding and display typography.
Numerals are bold and tightly fit, with simplified, closed forms that match the dense texture of the capitals. Lowercase maintains the same compact construction, with short extenders and sturdy bowls that hold up at display sizes.
