A tall, compact sans with tightly controlled proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation, and the overall construction leans rectilinear with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves in bowls and counters. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, producing crisp edges and a blocky silhouette. Spacing is economical, and many letters show narrow internal counters and relatively closed apertures, which reinforces the dense, compressed texture in text.
Best used where space is tight but impact is required—headlines, poster typography, product packaging, and bold brand lockups. It also fits wayfinding and labeling contexts where a condensed, high-density texture helps maximize information per line while keeping a strong presence.
The tone is forceful and pragmatic, combining a contemporary condensed look with an industrial, signage-like directness. Its compact geometry and sturdy forms read as confident and no-nonsense, suited to messaging that needs to feel strong, efficient, and immediate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, using sturdy, squared-round geometry and tight counters to create a solid typographic block. The emphasis is on clarity at display sizes and a consistent, industrial visual voice rather than delicate detail.
Uppercase forms feel especially streamlined and architectural, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure. Numerals are similarly compact and sturdy, matching the family’s squared-off curves and tight fit for a consistent, high-impact color on the page.
