Keywords: headlines, posters, packaging, logos, sportswear, industrial, poster, retro, comic, impact, compactness, readability, branding, blocky, compact, punchy, rounded, heavyweight.
A compact, heavy sans with tall lowercase proportions and tight internal counters. Strokes are broadly uniform and end in squared, slightly softened terminals, creating a sturdy, block-like silhouette. Corners and joins are subtly rounded, while bowls (notably in O/o and P/p) keep a smooth, almost geometric feel. The rhythm is dense and vertical, with short ascenders/descenders and wide, stable uppercase forms that read as solid slabs of black in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where strong typographic color and compact width help maximize impact in limited space. It also works well for sports or event graphics, bold UI labels, and short blocks of copy where a sturdy, no-nonsense voice is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and attention-seeking, with a utilitarian, industrial flavor that can also read playful and cartoony due to the softened edges and compact shapes. It evokes headline-era display typography—confident, loud, and slightly retro—optimized for impact over delicacy.
Likely designed as an impactful display sans that prioritizes a dense, compact footprint and strong silhouette. The softened corners and simplified construction suggest an intention to balance toughness with approachability, keeping shapes readable while maintaining a distinctly heavyweight presence.
The uppercase and numerals feel especially monolithic and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps readability through large apertures and simplified forms. The font’s dense color and tight counters suggest it will visually fill space quickly, making spacing and size important for comfortable reading in longer lines.
