A compact, condensed sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled spacing. Strokes are sturdy and largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse) bowls and softened corners that keep the black shapes smooth and cohesive. Counters are small and vertical stress is minimal, creating an efficient, columnar rhythm; joins and terminals tend toward clean, squared finishes rather than calligraphic modulation. The overall texture is dense and even, staying readable while prioritizing a strong silhouette in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where space is limited but impact is required. The condensed build works well for packaging panels, brand wordmarks, and editorial display lines that need to fit long phrases without losing presence.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial, contemporary feel. Its compressed stance and heavy presence suggest urgency and impact, leaning toward headline energy rather than quiet text refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rect geometry to keep forms friendly while retaining a strong, utilitarian structure. It prioritizes consistent texture and legibility at display scales for attention-grabbing typography.
Uppercase forms maintain a consistent, monoline construction with slightly rounded interior corners, while lowercase shows similarly compact apertures and simplified shapes. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic for a unified set in stacked or tabular-looking compositions.
