A highly condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a compact, vertical build. Curves are formed from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel with softened corners rather than true circular rounds. The overall rhythm is tight and tall, with short crossbars, minimal apertures, and narrow internal counters that keep color dense. Terminals are clean and blunt, and the numerals match the same compressed, block-like construction for consistent texture across mixed settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a dense, compact voice is useful and horizontal space is limited. It performs well in packaging and signage that needs strong contrast against a background and a sturdy, engineered look. For long-form reading, it’s more effective as a display accent than as body text.
The font projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone that reads as industrial and attention-driven. Its compact width and dense blackness evoke headline typography associated with signage, posters, and bold editorial statements. The rounded-rectangle shaping adds a modern, engineered character rather than a purely geometric or humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact per line by combining extreme compression with heavy, uniform strokes. Rounded-rectangle construction keeps the style cohesive and modern while maintaining a rugged, utilitarian clarity for large-format display use.
At text sizes the tight counters and compressed forms can reduce clarity, especially in letters with similar silhouettes, while at larger sizes the distinctive superelliptical curves and strong vertical emphasis become a defining visual feature. The sample lines show a dark, continuous typographic color with little breathing room, making spacing and line length important for comfortable reading.
