A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy vertical strokes and noticeably pinched joins, giving many letters an hourglass silhouette. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse forms, producing smooth, sturdy bowls and counters that stay narrow. Strokes show subtle contrast—thick stems with slimmer terminals and connecting strokes—while apertures remain relatively tight, emphasizing a compact, vertical rhythm. The overall texture is dense and uniform, with strong baseline presence and clear, high-impact shapes in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for headlines, posters, mastheads, and signage where space is tight but impact is needed. It can also work well on packaging and brand marks that benefit from a tall, condensed silhouette and strong vertical rhythm, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense tone with an industrial, display-forward attitude. Its compressed proportions and sculpted curves feel slightly vintage—evoking signage, headlines, and editorial titling—while staying clean and modern enough for contemporary branding. The resulting voice is assertive and confident rather than friendly or casual.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact and space efficiency through condensed proportions and a tightly controlled, superellipse-based geometry. Its subtle contrast and pinched joins add character without resorting to ornament, aiming for a distinctive display voice that remains clean and consistent across the alphabet and numerals.
The condensed width makes long lines feel packed, and the narrow counters can visually close up at smaller sizes. Numerals and uppercase forms read as especially architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same vertical tension and compactness, keeping the overall color consistent in text settings.
