This typeface uses tall, tightly proportioned letterforms with a compact, vertical rhythm and minimal internal space. Strokes are largely uniform, with corners and joins softened into rounded-rectangle shapes that keep curves controlled and geometric rather than calligraphic. Uppercase forms feel especially compressed and columnar, while counters tend to be narrow and sometimes close up in letters like B, R, and 8. The lowercase follows the same condensed structure with sturdy stems, simple bowls, and a straightforward, utilitarian construction; round letters read more like vertical ovals with flattened sides than true circles.
It suits headlines and short display copy where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable, especially in posters, signage, and packaging. The compact width makes it useful when you need to fit more characters into limited horizontal space while keeping a bold visual presence.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a strong, industrial presence. Its condensed, blocklike geometry evokes vintage headline and signage typography, balancing toughness with a slightly softened feel from the rounded corners.
The design intention appears to be a compact, high-impact sans with controlled, rounded-rectangle geometry—built to deliver strong emphasis in display typography while retaining a clean, engineered look.
Spacing appears tight by nature of the narrow proportions, giving text a dense texture in longer lines. The figures are tall and sturdy, matching the caps in weight and stance, which helps maintain a consistent color in display settings.
