A condensed sans with tall proportions and compact, straight-sided counters. Strokes are consistently heavy and clean, with minimal modulation and crisp joins, creating strong vertical emphasis. Curves are slightly squared-off in places, and several forms show gently flared or arched terminals that add a hint of character without becoming decorative. The lowercase is compact with short ascenders/descenders relative to the overall height, and the numerals share the same narrow, upright rhythm for a cohesive set.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where space is limited but high impact is needed. Its narrow width and heavy presence also fit signage, packaging, and bold label systems that require strong legibility and a compact footprint. It can work for short subheads or callouts, especially when a dense, vertical rhythm is desirable.
The overall tone is direct and assertive, designed to read with impact in tight horizontal space. It carries a slightly retro, industrial flavor—confident and practical rather than friendly or delicate. The condensed stance and dense black shapes give it a headline-driven, attention-getting voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a compressed measure, balancing straightforward sans construction with subtle terminal shaping for recognizable personality. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent stroke weight to maintain clarity and presence at display sizes.
The family’s visual rhythm is dominated by vertical strokes and tight internal spacing, producing a dense texture in running lines. Round letters (like O/C) appear more oval and constrained than circular, reinforcing the condensed feel. The sample text shows strong word-shape consistency and a solid, even color at larger sizes.
