A compact, tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a strongly vertical posture. Curves resolve into squared-round, superellipse-like bowls and counters, giving round letters a rounded-rectangle feel rather than a circular one. Terminals are flat and blunt, apertures are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is dense, producing a solid, “inked-in” texture even at moderate sizes. Lowercase forms show a tall x-height with short extenders, reinforcing the font’s efficient, stacked look in running lines.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where vertical economy and strong presence are priorities—posters, signage, packaging, and editorial callouts. It also works well for labels and interface elements that need a compact footprint, provided sizes and spacing allow the tight counters to remain clear.
The tone is firm and functional with a slightly industrial edge—more about impact and clarity than warmth. Its condensed stance and blocky geometry suggest urgency and authority, suited to attention-grabbing messaging and no-nonsense labeling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using consistent monoline weight and squared-round geometry to keep forms sturdy and uniform. It prioritizes a bold, contemporary utility aesthetic that holds together in dense, all-caps or mixed-case display settings.
In the sample text, the dense letterforms create strong word shapes with minimal internal whitespace, which boosts presence but can make long passages feel heavy. The squared-round construction stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive.
