A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and tightly controlled counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and terminals a squared-round, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Strokes are uniform and blunt-ended, with minimal modulation and crisp, simplified joins; the overall rhythm is dense and vertical, designed to hold together in large, emphatic settings.
Best suited for short, high-impact typography such as headlines, posters, title cards, packaging, and bold branding marks where space is limited but emphasis is needed. It can also work for signage and labels that benefit from a dense, condensed footprint and strong figure-ground contrast at display sizes.
The tone is forceful and functional, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as industrial and authoritative. Its compressed width and solid silhouettes create a commanding, headline-forward voice with a slightly retro poster sensibility.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow measure, using superelliptical, rounded-rectangular construction to keep forms sturdy and legible while maintaining a distinctive, condensed texture.
Uppercase forms look especially rigid and architectural, while the lowercase maintains the same compact, squared-round logic for counters and shoulders. Numerals are similarly blocky and space-efficient, matching the tight, high-impact texture seen in the sample text.
