A tightly condensed, heavy sans with a tall silhouette and compact sidebearings. Strokes are largely monoline, producing a solid, even color, while corners and terminals are subtly softened into rounded-rectangle forms rather than sharp cuts. Curves (like O/C/S) read as superelliptical—more squared than circular—giving the design a sturdy, engineered feel. Counters are relatively small and apertures are restrained, with numerals and capitals matching the same narrow, vertical rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, titles, posters, and large-format messaging where a compact width and strong impact are desirable. It also fits signage, packaging, and branding systems that need an economical, high-contrast presence against backgrounds without relying on delicate details.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-like presence. Its compressed proportions and blocky rounding evoke vintage signage and utilitarian labeling while still feeling clean and contemporary.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a rigid condensed framework with softened rectangular curves for a modernized industrial look. The consistent, sturdy construction suggests an emphasis on clarity and punch in display typography.
The font maintains a consistent vertical stress and a disciplined geometry across letters and figures, which helps it hold together in bold headline settings. The condensed structure amplifies density, so spacing and line breaks become an important part of achieving comfortable readability.
