A compact, tightly proportioned sans with tall, compressed letterforms and heavy, even stroke weight. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared counters and softly radiused corners rather than circular bowls. Apertures tend to be narrow and the interior spaces are small, giving the face a dense, ink-heavy texture. Terminals are mostly blunt and straight, with minimal modulation and a disciplined, vertical rhythm that keeps lines of text visually stacked and uniform.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where a dense, commanding voice is desired. It works well for signage, sports or event graphics, packaging, and branding systems that need a strong vertical presence and compact width. For longer passages, the tight counters and heavy texture suggest using larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone feels forceful and utilitarian, with a strong headline presence that reads as industrial and slightly retro. Its compressed, blocky forms project urgency and authority, leaning toward signage and poster aesthetics rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with rounded-rectangular construction for a distinctive, engineered look. It prioritizes bold silhouette recognition and a consistent, stacked rhythm for display typography.
Uppercase shapes present as rigid and architectural, while lowercase maintains the same squarish curvature and compact counters for consistency. Numerals follow the same condensed, heavy construction, staying legible at display sizes through clear silhouettes and strong vertical emphasis.
