A condensed, heavy sans with a squared, rounded-rectangle construction and consistently softened corners. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with compact counters and narrow apertures that create a dense, high-ink silhouette. Curves tend to resolve into superelliptical bowls rather than true circles, while joins and terminals stay blunt and vertical, giving the letters a stacked, modular feel. The lowercase is tall and sturdy with short extenders, and the numerals follow the same compact, squared rhythm for a cohesive texture in blocks of text.
Best suited for headlines, short statements, and display settings where compact width and high contrast against the background are desirable. It performs well on posters, packaging, labels, and signage, and can also serve as a strong logotype style when a condensed, industrial voice is needed.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a vintage-industrial edge that reads as confident and attention-grabbing. Its compressed width and chunky forms lend a sports and signage character—energetic, no-nonsense, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a rounded-rect geometry to keep the forms friendly enough while still feeling solid and mechanical. The consistent heavy strokes and compact counters suggest a focus on bold display typography for branding and attention-first messaging.
In the sample text, the tight internal spaces and heavy weight create strong word shapes but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes or in long passages. The squared rounds and narrow apertures especially emphasize the dark vertical rhythm, which works best when generous size or tracking is available.
