A compact, condensed display sans with heavy strokes and tightly enclosed counters. Forms are built from straight, vertical sidewalls and rounded-rectangle curves, producing a squared, superelliptical feel in bowls and shoulders. Curves transition quickly into flats, giving letters a carved, block-like silhouette with minimal modulation and crisp joins. Spacing appears economical and the overall rhythm is dense, with strong vertical emphasis and consistent stroke endings.
Best suited to headlines, poster titles, mastheads, and strong typographic branding where a dense, high-impact voice is needed. It can work well on packaging and signage that benefits from a condensed footprint and bold presence, especially in short lines or stacked layouts.
The font projects a forceful, no-nonsense tone—bold, utilitarian, and attention-grabbing. Its condensed proportions and squared-round construction evoke industrial labeling and mid-century poster typography, lending a confident, slightly retro authority to headlines and short statements.
The design appears intended to maximize impact within limited horizontal space, using squared-round geometry and heavy strokes to create a uniform, industrial display texture. It prioritizes bold legibility and graphic presence over delicate detail, making it well matched to statement typography.
Uppercase shapes stay tall and columnar, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure with compact apertures. Numerals are sturdy and simplified for punchy readability at display sizes, with a consistent, block-forward texture across mixed-case text.
