A compact, heavy sans with tightly packed proportions and a tall lowercase that keeps words dense and vertical. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving counters and bowls a squared, superelliptical feel rather than fully circular geometry. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, joins are firm, and the overall stroke treatment stays even, producing a solid, uninterrupted texture. The narrow fit and simplified detailing emphasize strong silhouettes in both caps and lowercase, with numerals and punctuation matching the same condensed, block-like construction.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of copy where a dense, high-impact voice is needed—posters, packaging, labels, and branding marks that benefit from a compact footprint. It can work for brief subheads or callouts, but its forceful texture and tight proportions make it most effective at display sizes.
The font projects an assertive, no-nonsense tone—graphic, industrial, and slightly retro in its condensed poster style. Its rounded-rectangle forms soften the heaviness just enough to feel approachable while still reading as tough and utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms sturdy and uniform. Its condensed build and simplified construction prioritize bold silhouettes, consistent typographic color, and quick recognition in attention-driven contexts.
Spacing and rhythm favor compact word shapes, creating a strong vertical cadence in text lines. Round letters like O/C/G show squarish counters, while diagonals (V/W/X/Y) are kept stout to maintain consistent color across the line.
