A compact, tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and heavy, even strokes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving counters and bowls a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation and a consistent, vertical rhythm. The lowercase is large and sturdy, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the overall height, helping the face read as dense and space-efficient.
This font works best for short, prominent copy such as headlines, posters, banners, labels, and logos where condensed width and strong color are advantages. It can also suit packaging and wayfinding-style signage that benefits from compact, high-impact letterforms.
The tone is bold and utilitarian with a retro display flavor—confident, attention-grabbing, and slightly industrial. Its narrow, blocky silhouettes suggest urgency and impact, making it feel suited to headlines and signage where a strong voice is needed.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in minimal horizontal space, pairing a dense condensed structure with softened superelliptical curves for a modernized, display-oriented sans. The goal is clear visual presence and efficient stacking in titles and promotional typography.
Spacing appears tight and the narrow letterforms create a strong vertical texture; in longer lines this can feel intense and packed. Rounded corners soften the weight, keeping the design from feeling purely mechanical while preserving a strict, compressed stance.
