A tall, tightly set sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are uniform and sturdy, with rounded-rectangle curves in bowls and counters that keep forms smooth rather than geometric-perfect. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared-off, while joins stay clean and controlled, producing crisp silhouettes even at small widths. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with simple shapes, narrow apertures, and a consistent rhythm; numerals follow the same condensed, no-nonsense construction.
Well suited to space-constrained settings where you need strong impact, such as headlines, posters, packaging panels, and signage. It also works for branding systems that want a condensed voice with clean, contemporary shapes, especially where a dense, vertical typographic color is desirable.
The overall tone is direct and efficient, with a contemporary, industrial flavor. Its compact width and firm stroke presence project urgency and clarity, making it feel practical and headline-forward rather than conversational or delicate.
The font appears designed to maximize punch and economy of space while maintaining clear, consistent letterforms. Its rounded-rectangle geometry and blunt terminals suggest an intention to feel modern and functional, balancing compactness with steady readability.
Because the design is so narrow, internal counters and apertures become the key to legibility; the rounded-rectangle curves help keep bowls open despite the compressed footprint. The texture in paragraphs is dense and vertical, giving lines a tight, poster-like cadence.
