A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and compact counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and apertures a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, and terminals are mostly blunt, creating a dense, vertical rhythm. The lowercase stays simple and mechanical, with single-storey forms and small, contained interiors; numerals follow the same compact, squared construction for a uniform texture in runs of text.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact lines where space is limited and a dense, commanding texture is desired. It can work well for posters, packaging labels, and signage-style graphics, especially where a compact, industrial look helps the message cut through. For long passages, the tight counters and narrow proportions suggest using larger sizes and generous line spacing.
The overall tone is blunt and workmanlike, with a strong, no-nonsense presence. Its narrow, high-impact silhouette reads as urban and industrial, leaning toward a modern display voice rather than a friendly or literary one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using squared, rounded forms to maintain a consistent, modern texture. Its simplified shapes and strong vertical rhythm suggest a focus on clarity and punch for display typography.
The design emphasizes verticality and tight sidebearings, producing a compressed word shape that stays steady across mixed case and numbers. Rounded corners soften the otherwise rigid, rectangular construction, keeping the color solid without feeling overly sharp.
