A condensed sans with tall proportions, compact counters, and a largely monolinear stroke. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and terminals a softly squared feel rather than circular. Vertical strokes dominate, with short crossbars and tight apertures that keep the silhouette narrow and efficient. The lowercase shows a high waistline and small internal spaces, while numerals follow the same condensed, streamlined geometry for a consistent rhythm.
Works best in headlines and short blocks where a dense, high-impact voice is needed, especially when horizontal space is limited. It also fits packaging, labels, and branding systems that favor a compact, contemporary wordmark-like presence, and can add a strong typographic spine to editorial display settings.
The overall tone feels modern and assertive, with an urban, industrial edge. Its compressed stance and squared-round curves read as functional and no-nonsense, suited to designs that want impact without ornament.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize presence in a narrow footprint, pairing tall proportions with rounded-rect geometry to stay legible and cohesive at display sizes. The consistent stroke behavior and simplified construction suggest an intention toward clean, scalable impact for modern layout systems.
The design maintains a steady, poster-like texture in lines of text, with strong vertical emphasis and minimal horizontal reach. Rounded corners temper the rigidity, keeping the face approachable while still feeling engineered and compact.
