A compact, condensed display sans with tall proportions, heavy strokes, and crisp, squared terminals. Counters are tight and often vertically elongated, while curves are slightly flattened, giving rounds like O/C/G a taut, pressed look. The design mixes straight-sided geometry with selective flaring in places (notably on some diagonals and lower curves), producing a punchy, irregular rhythm that reads as deliberately stylized rather than purely utilitarian. Numerals and caps maintain the same narrow, high-impact construction, with simplified forms and minimal interior whitespace.
Best suited to large sizes where its condensed, high-weight shapes can deliver maximum impact—posters, editorial headlines, event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold logo wordmarks. It can also work for short signage phrases where tight width is an advantage, but the dense counters make it less comfortable for long text settings.
The tone is bold and declarative, evoking headline typography from industrial signage, vintage posters, and compressed advertising display. Its narrow stance and high density create urgency and authority, with a slightly quirky, hand-tooled edge that keeps it from feeling sterile.
The design appears intended to provide a space-efficient, attention-grabbing display voice with a retro-industrial flavor. By combining condensed geometry with subtle, stylized shaping and tight counters, it prioritizes presence and compactness over neutral readability.
Letterforms show a consistent preference for verticality and compact sidebearings, which makes word shapes stack into dense blocks. The lowercase is built to match the caps’ strength, with a single-storey a and a sturdy, simplified structure across common forms, reinforcing a unified display voice.
