A heavy, slanted sans with broad proportions and a firmly geometric build. Strokes are strongly weighty with minimal modulation, and curves are rounded but tightly controlled, producing dense counters in letters like a, e, and g. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y, Z) feel sharp and stable. The lowercase uses a single-storey a and g, and overall spacing follows an even, typewriter-like rhythm that keeps each character visually self-contained.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where strong presence is needed, as well as labels and packaging that benefit from a condensed, high-ink silhouette. The even rhythm also works well for technical callouts, tabular snippets, and short UI badges where uniform character width helps alignment.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, mixing a sporty, forward-leaning momentum with an industrial, no-nonsense clarity. It reads like labeling and equipment typography—confident, loud, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful, slanted sans voice with consistent character widths and robust shapes for high-visibility display use. Its simplified geometry and dense strokes suggest an emphasis on durability, quick recognition, and compact impact in constrained spaces.
Round letters (O, Q, 0) are more oval than circular, which reinforces the horizontal emphasis. The figures are sturdy and simplified, and the punctuation/spacing in the sample text maintains a consistent mechanical cadence that suits short, emphatic messages.
