A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and squared, superelliptical curves. Counters are tight and apertures tend to be narrow, producing a dense color and strong vertical rhythm. Terminals are predominantly flat and blunt, with softly rounded corners that keep the geometry from feeling sharp. Overall proportions favor tall, straight stems and simplified bowls, making the design feel sturdy and space-efficient in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short, high-impact statements where density and presence are advantages. It can also work for signage and packaging fronts that need a strong, compact wordmark-like look, especially where horizontal space is limited.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a utilitarian, industrial confidence. Its condensed heft reads like signage and sports branding—direct, no-nonsense, and engineered for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow footprint, combining blunt geometry with softly rounded corners for a contemporary, engineered feel. It prioritizes bold legibility at display sizes and a consistent, powerful texture across mixed-case and numerals.
The figures are similarly compact and bold, matching the uppercase weight and maintaining a consistent, poster-ready texture. In longer sample lines, the narrow internal spaces create a continuous, punchy rhythm that emphasizes words as blocks of shape.
