A tightly condensed sans with strong vertical emphasis and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes are heavy and mostly straight, with narrow interior counters and clipped, squared terminals; rounded letters keep a compact, almost pinched curvature rather than broad bowls. The rhythm is tall and compressed, with short crossbars (notably in E/F) and a compact, high x-height lowercase that reads dense and uniform. Numerals follow the same tall, compressed construction with bold stems and minimal internal space.
Best suited to display typography where space is limited and impact is desired—headlines, posters, bold packaging labels, and logo wordmarks. It also works for signage or masthead-style applications where tall, compressed letterforms help create strong vertical presence.
The overall tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, combining a utilitarian, industrial feel with a retro poster sensibility. Its compressed shapes and stark contrast create a dramatic, headline-forward voice that feels commanding and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual density and punch in a narrow footprint, using high contrast and tall proportions to stand out quickly. It prioritizes assertive shapes and a compact rhythm for bold, space-efficient display settings.
Because counters and apertures are very tight, the face tends to form solid vertical blocks in continuous text, especially at smaller sizes or in long lines. It benefits from generous tracking and careful line spacing when used beyond short bursts.
