A compact, heavy display sans with tall, squeezed proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes stay consistently thick, with subtle rounding and tapering at joins that creates small notches and wedge-like terminals in letters such as S, C, and G. Counters are relatively tight and shapes are built from sturdy curves and straight stems, producing dense silhouettes and an assertive texture in lines of text. The lowercase is simple and sturdy, with single-storey forms and short ascenders/descenders that keep the overall blocky profile even in longer settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short statements where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It also fits packaging, labels, and bold branding applications where a compact, blocky voice reads quickly from a distance. For longer copy, it works most comfortably at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The overall tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, with a poster-like confidence. Its condensed heft and sculpted notches suggest a slightly retro, industrial flavor—more headline-driven than neutral—while remaining clean and straightforward.
The design appears intended as a space-saving display sans that delivers strong presence and quick recognition. The consistent heavy strokes and sculpted joins aim to keep counters open enough for legibility while maintaining a dense, energetic typographic color.
In the numerals and uppercase, the narrow set and tight internal spaces create strong word shapes and high impact at larger sizes. In continuous text the dark color and condensed spacing can feel dense, so breathing room (tracking/leading) helps maintain clarity.
