A compact, condensed sans with heavy vertical strokes and a tightly packed rhythm. Curves are built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with subtly rounded corners that keep the shapes from feeling sharp. Letterforms favor verticality and closed apertures, and the overall texture reads dark and continuous, especially in longer lines of text.
This font performs best where space is limited but impact is needed: headlines, posters, labels, and bold UI or wayfinding elements. Its condensed width allows dense titles and stacked layouts, while the heavy stroke weight maintains legibility at larger display sizes.
The tone is bold and emphatic, with an industrial, utilitarian edge. Its narrow stance and solid color create a pressurized, energetic voice that feels at home in punchy headlines and attention-grabbing messaging. The rounded-rect geometry adds a modern, engineered flavor rather than a purely humanist warmth.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact and economy of width, using superelliptical construction to keep curves consistent and contemporary. It prioritizes a strong vertical structure and compact spacing for bold, high-density typographic settings.
The caps are particularly tall and columnar, and round letters like O and Q appear more like rounded rectangles, reinforcing a modular, built-from-blocks impression. The numerals follow the same condensed, sturdy logic, staying consistent in weight and corner treatment for a unified set.
