A tall, condensed sans with dense, uniform strokes and compact interior counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and terminals a squared-yet-soft geometry. Vertical strokes dominate, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that create a strong, continuous color in text. The uppercase is especially narrow and high, while lowercase forms stay compact with short extenders and a clipped, utilitarian finish; numerals follow the same narrow, blocky rhythm.
Well suited for headlines, posters, and branding where a compact, forceful wordmark is needed. It can work effectively for packaging and short, high-contrast signage copy, particularly in all-caps or mixed-case display settings where the condensed rhythm is an advantage.
The font projects a tough, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly retro-industrial flavor. Its compressed proportions and dark typographic color feel confident and attention-seeking, suited to bold messaging rather than subtlety. The rounded-square construction adds a slightly engineered, mechanical character that reads as modernist and punchy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tightly condensed footprint, using rounded-square construction to keep forms sturdy and consistent. It prioritizes strong presence and a mechanical, engineered texture over open readability in small text.
Because counters are small and strokes are heavy, spacing and size will strongly affect clarity; it reads best when given room and set at larger sizes. The narrow build packs words tightly, producing a strong vertical cadence and high impact in headlines.
