A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes stay largely monolinear, with squared terminals softened by subtle rounding and occasional shallow notches that give edges a slightly worn, stamped look. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular, creating a tight, vertical rhythm; joins and shoulders stay blunt and sturdy rather than calligraphic. Spacing appears economical, emphasizing column-like word shapes and strong silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and bold branding where vertical emphasis and strong black shape are desirable. It can also work for short labels or signage, but the compressed width and rugged edge details may reduce clarity in long passages or small sizes.
The tone is bold and workmanlike, with a utilitarian, poster-driven presence that reads as slightly vintage and tactile. Its compressed forms and rugged edge texture suggest signage and print ephemera rather than polished corporate minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, pairing geometric, rounded-rectangle forms with a slightly distressed edge for a tough, print-forward character.
Round letters like O/Q and curves in C/G/S are drawn with squarish, superelliptical arcs, reinforcing a geometric, industrial feel. Numerals follow the same compressed, blocky logic, staying consistent in weight and corner treatment for a cohesive set.
