A condensed sans with monolinear strokes and a strongly vertical stance. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle/superellipse-like forms, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circular geometry. Terminals are clean and largely flat, with tight apertures and compact internal spaces that create a dense, dark rhythm. The lowercase is built for height and clarity, with simple, sturdy shapes and minimal modulation; numerals follow the same tall, compressed proportions for a uniform typographic color.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and display sizes where its condensed build and dense color deliver impact. It also fits signage, packaging, and branding systems that need an efficient, vertical footprint and a contemporary, technical voice.
The overall tone is punchy and no-nonsense, with a compact, high-pressure presence that reads as modern and industrial. Its squared curves and tight spacing cues a technical, utilitarian feel, while the softened corners keep it from seeming harsh.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility in a narrow measure by using tall proportions, firm verticals, and squared-off rounded forms. Its consistent stroke treatment and clean terminals suggest a focus on straightforward, modern display typography with an industrial edge.
The condensed width and tight counters make the texture feel concentrated, especially in multi-line settings where the vertical rhythm becomes prominent. Round letters like O/C/G read as softened rectangles, and diagonals (e.g., in A, V, W, X) stay narrow and disciplined, reinforcing the compressed, engineered character.
