A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and tight interior spaces. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superellipse feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and abrupt, with minimal taper, and the overall rhythm is vertical and compact. The lowercase is sturdy with a high x-height and short ascenders/descenders, while figures are similarly compact and strongly aligned for dense setting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other display applications where space is limited but a strong typographic punch is needed. It can work well for packaging and signage that benefits from compact lines and bold, condensed emphasis, and for energetic branding moments such as sports or entertainment titles.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a utilitarian, industrial confidence. Its compressed width and heavy color create urgency and impact, lending a poster-like intensity even in short phrases.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility in tight horizontal space by combining condensed proportions with simplified, rounded-rectangular construction. It prioritizes a strong, even typographic color and clear silhouettes over delicate detail, aiming for robust display performance.
The narrow proportions and dense strokes reduce openness in smaller apertures (notably in letters with tight counters), which increases visual weight and makes spacing feel packed. Rounded corners soften the otherwise blocky construction, keeping the texture from feeling overly mechanical.
