A compact, condensed sans with a squared, superelliptical construction and subtly rounded corners. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear, with clean joins and flat terminals that create a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette. The overall rhythm is tight and vertical, with tall capitals, narrow bowls, and efficient counters; curves read as controlled and slightly squarish rather than fully circular. Numerals and punctuation follow the same blunt, geometric logic, keeping a consistent, no-nonsense texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, packaging, and bold brand applications where a compact width and strong presence are beneficial. It can also work for signage and labels where space is tight and quick recognition matters, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, combining a contemporary, engineered feel with a touch of vintage signage bluntness. It communicates directness and strength, reading as pragmatic and attention-grabbing without becoming playful or decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using a squared geometric skeleton and rounded-corner detailing to keep heavy strokes clean and contemporary. It prioritizes solidity and legibility in display contexts, with a consistent industrial rhythm across letters and numerals.
The condensed proportions and dense color make it especially impactful in short lines, while the squarish curves and rounded corners help prevent the weight from feeling harsh. In longer settings it produces a strong typographic “stripe,” with clear vertical emphasis and compact word shapes.
