A tall, tightly set sans with a pronounced vertical rhythm and compressed counters. Strokes are predominantly straight and parallel, while curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals, creating a superellipse-like geometry. The contrast between thick verticals and finer horizontals gives letters a crisp, poster-like bite, and the overall spacing feels compact and economical. Forms such as the bowls of O/C/D and the numerals read as engineered and modular, with consistently rounded corners rather than circular curves.
Best suited for headlines and short text where impact and economy of space matter, such as posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for titling on covers or editorial openers where a condensed, high-contrast texture is desired; for long passages, the tight apertures and dense rhythm may feel heavy.
The tone is bold and commanding, with a distinctly retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage and mid‑century display lettering. Its condensed stance and sharp contrast feel urgent and promotional, while the rounded-rectangle shaping adds a controlled, architectural calm rather than playful softness.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow footprint, using strong vertical strokes and rounded-rectangular curves to create a distinctive, systematic silhouette. It prioritizes display clarity and a memorable, engineered character over neutral text readability.
The lowercase is notably narrow and compact, and several letters favor simplified, closed shapes that emphasize verticality over openness. Numerals share the same tall, compressed silhouette and squared-off rounding, helping text and figures maintain a unified, display-forward texture.
