A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a heavy, even stroke. Curves and counters are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and arches a squarish, superellipse feel rather than true circles. Terminals are softened with consistent rounding, and joins stay clean and sturdy, producing a compact rhythm and strong vertical emphasis. Spacing appears economical and consistent, supporting dense setting while keeping counters open enough for legibility.
Well suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where compact width and strong presence help fit more characters into limited space. It also works for signage and labels that benefit from a bold, condensed silhouette and clear, repeatable shapes, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a mildly retro sign-painting and poster sensibility. Its narrow, tall stance reads assertive and efficient, projecting a straightforward, no-nonsense voice with softened edges that keep it friendly rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining a consistent, rounded-rectangular construction. It prioritizes a strong, uniform texture and a sturdy, approachable geometry for display-driven typography.
The numerals match the same tall, rounded-rectangle logic, and punctuation shows the same rounded finishing, reinforcing a coherent system. In text, the condensed width noticeably increases words-per-line and creates a strong, columnar texture that works best when intentional density is desired.
