A tightly condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a compact footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squarish counters and softened corners rather than fully circular bowls. Vertical emphasis is strong, with narrow apertures and short crossbars that keep letters dense; terminals are mostly blunt and clean. Lowercase forms are tall and narrow with a small differentiation between rounds and straights, and figures follow the same compressed, upright rhythm for a consistent, stacked texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display roles where you need maximum impact in limited horizontal space, such as posters, headlines, and punchy editorial titling. The dense proportions and heavy weight also fit packaging, labels, and branding systems that call for a compact, high-energy voice.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a gritty, industrial confidence. Its condensed massing and blocky curves give it an urban, poster-forward attitude that reads as direct and no-nonsense rather than delicate or friendly.
Designed to deliver strong presence while conserving width, combining condensed proportions with rounded-rectangular construction for a modern, engineered look. The consistent stroke weight and compact counters suggest an emphasis on bold legibility and a cohesive, high-contrast page color in large-type applications.
Spacing appears intentionally tight, creating dark typographic color and strong vertical rhythm, especially in all-caps settings. The rounded-rectangle construction keeps the font feeling controlled and engineered, even at large sizes where the condensed proportions become a defining stylistic feature.
