A condensed sans with tall proportions, compact letterfit, and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are sturdy and mostly uniform, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) curves that keep bowls and counters tight and controlled. Terminals are predominantly flat and square, and joins are clean and mechanical, giving the shapes a crisp, engineered feel. Numerals follow the same condensed, heavy construction, reading clearly with compact apertures and minimal ornament.
Well-suited to short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and wayfinding or label systems where space is tight but emphasis is needed. It can also work for brand marks or condensed titling in interfaces when used at sizes that preserve interior clarity.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, suggesting signage and industrial labeling rather than softness or friendliness. Its condensed width and heavy presence create urgency and emphasis, making it feel commanding and efficient.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with controlled, rounded-rectilinear curves for a modern, industrial clarity.
Counters are relatively small for the weight, which increases density in long lines and amplifies the poster-like impact. The uppercase set looks especially strong and uniform, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, functional construction that prioritizes clarity over personality.
