A compact, tightly set sans with tall, columnar proportions and consistently heavy strokes. Curves are rendered as rounded-rectangle superellipse forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly blunt and flat, with minimal modulation and a clean, engineered rhythm; apertures and counters stay narrow, creating strong vertical emphasis. The numerals and lowercase follow the same compressed geometry, maintaining uniform density and a crisp, poster-ready silhouette.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where a condensed footprint is useful and a strong vertical presence is desired. It can also work for signage and wayfinding-style graphics, especially when given extra spacing to keep counters clear.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a streamlined, industrial feel that reads as modernist and slightly retro. Its compressed stance and squared curves add a mechanical confidence, suggesting signage, display titling, and utilitarian branding rather than delicate editorial voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility in a narrow width, using rounded-rectangular construction to keep forms consistent and highly recognizable. It prioritizes a compact, industrial display voice that remains clean and systematic across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At text sizes the tight internal spaces can close up, so it benefits from generous tracking and ample line spacing. The squared bowls and narrow apertures create a distinctive texture that becomes especially prominent in all-caps settings and long headlines.
