A tall, tightly packed sans with compact proportions and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes are sturdy with moderated contrast, and the design leans on rounded-rectangle/superellipse geometry—especially in counters and curved joins—giving bowls and rounds a slightly squared, controlled feel. Terminals are mostly blunt and clean, with occasional small spur-like details in the lowercase that add texture without turning the face into a serif. Overall spacing is economical, and the uppercase forms read as narrow, blocky columns with restrained curvature.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short bursts of text where condensed width and strong presence are advantages. It can work well in branding, packaging, and signage systems that need a compact, space-efficient voice with a firm, editorial character.
The tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a hint of vintage display flavor. Its compressed stance and crisp detailing convey seriousness and impact, suited to messaging that needs to feel direct and confident rather than casual or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space while maintaining clear, controlled letterforms. Its superelliptical rounding and sturdy construction suggest a focus on consistent, engineered shapes that hold up well at display sizes and in dense typographic layouts.
Uppercase and numerals are especially compact and poster-ready, while the lowercase introduces more distinctive shapes (notably the double-storey a and single-storey g) that add personality. The overall texture in text is dark and even, with narrow apertures and tight counters contributing to a dense, headline-driven color.
