A compact, tall sans with strongly compressed proportions and dense vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and uniform in presence, with tight counters that emphasize a dark, poster-like color. Curves resolve into squarish, rounded-rectangle forms rather than pure circles, giving bowls and arches a superelliptical feel. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with minimal modulation and a generally rigid, upright construction that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short bursts of text where compact width and high impact are desirable. It can work well for posters, editorial display, branding wordmarks, packaging, and signage where a tall, condensed voice helps fit more characters per line while maintaining strong visual presence.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with a utilitarian, industrial edge. Its condensed stance and dark texture project urgency and impact, lending a no-nonsense, contemporary voice suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed skeleton with sturdy strokes and squared, softened curves. The consistent, engineered geometry suggests a focus on clear, modern display typography that remains legible and forceful at large sizes.
The narrow set width and high stroke density create a strong vertical emphasis and efficient space usage. At larger sizes the superelliptical rounding reads as modern and engineered; at smaller sizes the tight apertures and compact counters can make text feel packed and intense.
