A tall, compact sans with tightly drawn proportions and a strong, even stroke presence. Curves are simple and geometric with rounded bowls, while joins and terminals stay clean and largely unmodulated, giving the shapes a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, with straight-sided forms and minimal ornamentation. Figures follow the same condensed, straightforward construction for consistent color in mixed text.
Well-suited to space-conscious headlines, posters, and display settings where vertical emphasis and dense impact are desirable. It can work for branding, labels, and packaging that benefit from a compact, utilitarian voice, and for signage or UI callouts where short strings need to read with authority.
The tone is direct and pragmatic, with a no-nonsense voice that reads as modern and slightly industrial. Its condensed stance and firm strokes project efficiency and confidence rather than softness or playfulness.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, pairing geometric simplicity with a strong, consistent stroke for high-impact display typography. It prioritizes clarity and economy over decorative detail, making it a practical condensed option for modern graphic layouts.
In text, the narrow set creates a compact line economy and a strong typographic “stripe,” especially in all-caps. The punctuation and dots appear simple and solid, matching the heavy, condensed texture. Round letters maintain clarity through open apertures, but the dense color can feel intense at smaller sizes or in long passages.
