A tall, compact sans with tightly drawn proportions and strongly vertical construction. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with subtle modulation visible in curved joins and terminals, producing a clean, controlled texture. Round letters are built from rounded-rectangle (superellipse) shapes, giving counters a squarish feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt; curves transition quickly into straight stems, and spacing is relatively tight, creating a dense, high-impact rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, titles, signage, and packaging where a condensed, high-contrast-in-size silhouette helps text hold its shape at a distance. It also works for strong brand marks and editorial display lines that need a compact footprint without sacrificing impact.
The overall tone is firm and no-nonsense, with an industrial, display-forward presence. Its condensed stature and blocky curves read as confident and slightly retro, suitable for messaging that needs to feel direct and emphatic rather than delicate or conversational.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space, combining condensed proportions with squared-round construction for a sturdy, contemporary-industrial look. The consistent, blunt finishing and tight rhythm suggest a focus on clarity and authority in display typography.
The uppercase has a particularly strong poster texture, with narrow widths and compact counters that increase perceived weight. Numerals share the same tall, condensed silhouette, aligning well with the letters for data-heavy headlines. Lowercase forms retain the same squared-round logic, keeping the font’s voice consistent across mixed-case settings.
