A tightly condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and apertures a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Strokes stay consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and terminals are clean and blunt, producing a dense vertical rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share a strong, columnar structure, with short crossbars and narrow interior spaces that emphasize the type’s compressed footprint.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and bold branding moments where condensed width helps fit more characters without losing impact. It can work for packaging and labels that need an industrial, high-density look, and for short emphatic callouts where a strong vertical rhythm is desirable.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a distinct vintage-display flavor reminiscent of signage and industrial labeling. Its narrow stance and heavy color create a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as bold, direct, and slightly retro.
Likely designed as a high-impact condensed display sans that maximizes presence in limited horizontal space. The squared, superelliptical curves and uniform weight suggest an intention to evoke sturdy, industrial modernism while staying clean and contemporary.
The narrow apertures and tight counters mean the font’s texture can darken quickly in longer lines, especially at smaller sizes. It performs best when given breathing room via generous tracking and line spacing, where its tall silhouette and squared curves can be appreciated.
