A condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a strongly vertical stance. Curves are built from squared-off, superelliptical forms, creating rounded-rectangle bowls and terminals rather than true circles. Counters are tight and apertures are generally narrow, giving the face a dense texture, while joins and shoulders stay clean and simplified for a crisp silhouette. Overall spacing reads compact and efficient, optimized for punchy headlines and tight columns.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, signage, and branding systems that need maximum impact in limited horizontal space. It also works well for packaging and labels where a compact, high-contrast-in-mass word shape helps maintain visibility at a distance.
The tone is direct and forceful, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike presence. Its compressed proportions and blocky geometry feel contemporary and industrial, projecting urgency and authority without ornament.
Likely intended as a space-saving display sans that emphasizes bold presence through condensed proportions and superelliptical geometry. The simplified construction prioritizes clarity and consistency over nuance, aiming for strong recognition in titles and short statements.
The design maintains a consistent, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and numerals, with squarish rounds that keep forms stable at large sizes. The dense color and narrow internal spaces can make long passages feel intense, but it delivers strong impact in short bursts.
