A tall, compact sans with tightly compressed letterforms and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are largely uniform, producing dense, even color, while terminals and corners lean toward rounded-rectangle shaping rather than sharp cuts. Counters are narrow and mostly vertical, with simplified joins and minimal modulation, giving the design a clean, engineered rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed construction and remain sturdy and highly blocklike in silhouette.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and editorial titling where vertical economy and strong presence are needed. Its compact width also fits signage, packaging, labels, and bold brand applications that require quick recognition in limited space.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that reads as functional and assertive. Its compressed proportions and firm shapes evoke signage, labeling, and mid-century utility typography, delivering a slightly retro but still modern, workmanlike presence.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility in constrained horizontal space while maintaining a consistent geometric, rounded-rectangle construction. It prioritizes a robust, uniform texture and straightforward forms for practical, high-visibility typography.
Spacing appears designed to keep words compact, with tight internal counters and a consistent, disciplined cadence across caps, lowercase, and figures. The condensed build increases impact but can make dense paragraphs feel intense at smaller sizes, favoring short bursts of text and display settings.
