A tightly condensed sans with heavy, compact letterforms and a consistent stroke feel. Curves are rounded but controlled, producing oval bowls and smooth shoulders, while terminals are mostly flat and squared for a solid, block-like silhouette. The lowercase shows single-storey forms (notably a and g), and counters are relatively small, emphasizing density and weight. Overall spacing reads tight and efficient, with a tall, vertical rhythm that keeps words narrow and impactful.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where space is limited but impact is needed. It can work effectively for packaging fronts, event promotion, and bold signage, and it’s also a strong candidate for compact wordmarks and brand lockups that need a tall, dense presence.
The font conveys a strong, no-nonsense tone—confident and utilitarian with a hint of athletic signage energy. Its dense shapes and tight proportions make it feel urgent and attention-grabbing, suited to bold messaging rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to maximize visual punch in narrow widths, delivering strong legibility at display sizes while keeping line length compact. It balances rounded construction with squared terminals to remain friendly enough for contemporary use while still reading as firm and industrial.
Numbers and capitals maintain the same compact, upright stance, keeping a uniform, poster-friendly texture across mixed-case settings. The small counters and heavy joins suggest it will look best when given enough size or breathing room to preserve internal clarity.
