A tightly condensed, tall sans with a compact footprint and consistent vertical rhythm. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with rounded-rectangle terminals and softened corners that give counters a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Curves are drawn as controlled, narrow bowls with minimal flare, while straight stems dominate and create a strong columnar texture. Numerals and caps share the same narrow proportions, producing dense, high-impact word shapes in larger settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where a dense, high-contrast mass is desirable. It can work well for branding and packaging that needs a tall, compact wordmark, and for signage or labels where narrow width helps fit more characters into limited space.
The overall tone feels assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial flavor. Its rounded corners temper the heaviness, adding a friendly, engineered smoothness while maintaining a forceful, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a slim width, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms sturdy and cohesive. It prioritizes strong verticality and compact spacing to create bold, easily recognizable letter shapes for display-driven typography.
Round glyphs (like O and 0) appear vertically elongated, and many joins and terminals resolve into squared-off curves that read cleanly at display sizes. The design maintains a consistent, compressed silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, emphasizing uniformity and punch over spacious readability.
