A tall, compact sans with heavy vertical emphasis and tightly controlled counters. Strokes read as largely monoline, with squared terminals and rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that keep bowls and curves firm rather than soft. Many letters show narrow apertures and small internal spaces, producing a dense texture and strong columnar rhythm; diagonals are minimized or visually restrained, reinforcing the upright, engineered feel. Figures follow the same condensed, sturdy construction for a consistent, sign-like presence.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a compact, high-impact word shape is needed. It can also work for signage and labels that benefit from a condensed footprint, especially at larger sizes where the tight counters remain legible.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-ready punch. Its compressed width and dense interiors give it a commanding, slightly severe voice that feels functional and direct rather than friendly or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, using a robust, squared-and-rounded construction to maintain clarity and consistency across the alphabet and numerals.
The condensed proportions create strong vertical stripes in text, and the tight spacing of internal counters can make long passages feel dark and compressed. In display settings, the uniform heft and rounded-rect geometry read clearly and cohesively across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
