A compact, tall-proportioned sans with sturdy strokes and minimal modulation. Shapes lean toward squared, engineered geometry—round letters (O, C, G) read slightly pinched and vertical, while straight-sided forms (H, N, M, U) emphasize a narrow internal rhythm. Terminals are generally blunt with occasional angled cuts, and curves often transition into straighter segments, producing a slightly mechanical, constructed feel. The lowercase is simple and sturdy with single-storey a and g, compact bowls, and a tight, efficient footprint; numerals follow the same condensed, high-impact logic.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, space-efficient voice is needed. It also works for signage, packaging, and labels that benefit from an industrial, utilitarian presence, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is practical and forceful, with a vintage-industrial edge. Its condensed rhythm and blocky construction feel workmanlike and no-nonsense, suggesting signage, labels, and display typography where clarity and punch matter more than softness or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, combining a straightforward sans structure with subtly engineered, squared-off curves for a distinctive, industrial personality.
In text settings the tight counters and tall silhouettes create a strong vertical texture, making it read best with a bit of breathing room in line spacing. The design’s consistent, constructed geometry helps maintain cohesion across caps, lowercase, and figures, while the slightly idiosyncratic curve handling adds character without becoming ornamental.
