A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and compact internal counters. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and apertures a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are predominantly flat and blunt, with minimal modulation and a consistently dense color on the page. Lowercase forms stay straightforward and compact, with narrow sidebearings and short ascenders/descenders that reinforce the compressed vertical rhythm.
Best suited for headlines and short bursts of text where maximum impact is needed in limited horizontal space. It performs well for posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, packaging labels, and brand marks that benefit from a compact, assertive typographic voice.
The overall tone is forceful and functional, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its narrow, blackened texture reads as industrial and slightly retro—evoking signage, stenciled labeling, and bold editorial titling—while remaining clean and modern enough for contemporary layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact typography with an efficient footprint, combining a condensed skeleton with a rounded-rectangular geometry for a distinctive, repeatable rhythm. It prioritizes bold visibility and a strong block texture over delicate detail, making it a practical choice for attention-grabbing display settings.
Round characters like O/C/G show a distinctive rounded-rectangle construction, and the punctuation and numerals match the same tall, compressed proportions. The dense spacing and small counters make it most comfortable at display sizes, where its geometric details and tight rhythm remain clear.
