A tall, tightly condensed sans with monoline strokes and a compact rhythm. Curves resolve into squarish, rounded-rectangle forms—visible in C, O, and 0—while verticals stay straight and dominant, giving the design a strong vertical pull. Apertures are generally narrow and counters feel tall and compressed, with terminals kept crisp and simple. The lowercase follows the same restrained geometry, with single-storey a and g and minimal modulation, producing an even, poster-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where vertical space is limited but a strong typographic presence is needed. It performs well in signage and packaging systems that benefit from compact width and high-impact, all-caps setting, and it can also serve as an assertive UI or label face at larger sizes.
The overall tone is direct and functional, with a confident, industrial feel. Its condensed proportions and squared-round geometry read as modern and efficient, leaning more toward signage and display communication than softness or ornament.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility within a narrow footprint, using simplified, squared-round forms for consistency and fast recognition. Its restrained detailing suggests a pragmatic display sans built for dense headlines and bold typographic layouts.
The uppercase set emphasizes uniform, straight-sided structure, while rounded corners prevent the forms from feeling harsh. Numerals match the same condensed, squared-round logic, maintaining consistent color and spacing in tightly set lines.
