A compact, tightly condensed sans with sturdy, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction. Curves are squared-off rather than circular, giving bowls and counters a boxy softness; terminals are generally blunt with subtle rounding. Proportions are tall with short extenders, and the overall spacing rhythm is dense and efficient, producing strong vertical texture in text. Numerals follow the same narrow, robust build, with simple, legible shapes and minimal ornament.
Best suited to space-constrained headlines, posters, and signage where a tall, compact wordmark needs to hit hard. It also fits packaging, labels, and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a dense, vertical rhythm and a no-nonsense sans appearance.
The font reads as pragmatic and assertive, with an industrial, poster-like voice. Its compressed silhouettes and squared-round geometry feel contemporary and urban, while also nodding to older signage and headline typography where space-saving impact matters.
Likely designed to maximize impact and legibility within narrow horizontal space, using squared-round forms to balance rigidity with approachability. The consistent stroke and simplified details suggest a focus on clarity, repeatable texture, and strong presence in display settings.
The condensed width and heavy stroke create strong word shapes at display sizes, but can build a dark, continuous texture in longer lines. The superelliptical curves help keep the tone friendly enough for branding while remaining distinctly functional.
