A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and a tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are predominantly vertical with subtle thickness variation, and terminals are mostly squared-off with softened, rounded corners. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, with apertures kept small, giving letters a dense, poster-ready texture. The uppercase is rigid and geometric, while the lowercase maintains the same compact construction, producing an even, upright color in lines of text.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings where space is limited—headlines, posters, labels, and punchy editorial callouts. Its condensed build also lends itself to signage and logo wordmarks that need a strong silhouette and a compact footprint.
The overall tone feels industrial and utilitarian, with a retro display flavor reminiscent of stamped signage and bold headline typography. Its compressed stance and blunt forms communicate firmness and efficiency, reading as assertive and no-nonsense.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and legibility in tight widths, prioritizing a strong vertical structure and dense typographic color. The restrained detailing and squared, softened geometry suggest an intention toward practical, display-oriented typography with a classic industrial sensibility.
The design emphasizes verticality: stems dominate, curves are minimized and tightened, and joins tend to stay angular rather than calligraphic. Numerals follow the same compact, block-like logic, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay visually consistent.
