This typeface is extremely condensed with tall proportions and a tightly controlled, vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear in feel, with subtle thick–thin modulation visible in curved joins and terminals. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing compact, superellipse-like bowls in letters such as O, C, and D. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with minimal flare; the overall silhouette is crisp and columnar, and spacing is tight to maximize density and impact.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and other short-form display settings where a tall, compressed texture is desirable. It can work well in branding wordmarks and packaging where space is limited but high impact is needed, and it also fits editorial titles and pull quotes at larger sizes.
The font communicates a strong, assertive tone with a disciplined, no-nonsense presence. Its compressed stance and dark color create a poster and headline energy that feels industrial and modern, leaning toward editorial display rather than casual messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in narrow horizontal space while maintaining clean, contemporary letterforms. Its rounded-rectangle construction and consistent verticality suggest a focus on strong typographic color and efficient, modern display typography.
Round letters maintain small, vertical counters that stay open despite the heavy weight, while diagonals (V/W/X) are sharply drawn and reinforce the rigid, architectural feel. Numerals follow the same condensed logic and read as sturdy, compact forms suitable for large-size use.
