A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and a tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with rounded-rectangle curves that keep counters relatively small and squared-off, especially in letters like O, D, and P. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and many joins feel engineered and vertical, giving the design a strong, columnar silhouette. The lowercase is robust and high-waisted, with short extenders and simplified forms that maintain consistent color in dense settings.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and large-scale typographic statements where strong presence and compact width help fit more characters per line. It also works effectively for signage, packaging, and sports or product branding that benefits from a dense, high-impact sans.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, industrial confidence. Its compressed shapes and squared curves evoke signage and athletic or workwear graphics, leaning slightly retro while staying clean and modern.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using squared-round geometry and uniform stroke weight to create a loud, stable typographic voice. It prioritizes bold texture and consistency across glyphs for display-driven applications.
The numerals and capitals share the same compact, squared-round geometry, producing a consistent texture across mixed-case text. The glyph set shown emphasizes clarity at display sizes, with tight internal spaces that read best when given adequate letterspacing or used at larger scales.
