A compact, condensed sans with tall proportions and a firmly monoline construction. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than purely circular forms. Strokes end in crisp, flat terminals with minimal modulation, producing a dense, even texture in text. Spacing is tight and vertical, with narrow apertures and compact counters that emphasize a strong, blocky silhouette.
Best suited to space-constrained headlines, posters, and packaging where a strong vertical rhythm is desired. It also works well for signage, wayfinding, and labels that benefit from a condensed footprint and high visual impact, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is direct and workmanlike, with a contemporary, industrial edge. Its narrow stance and squared-round curves project efficiency and authority, making it feel more functional than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using squared-round construction and uniform strokes to keep forms consistent and robust. It prioritizes a clean, efficient texture and a compact silhouette for practical, attention-getting typography.
The lowercase shows single-storey forms where expected in this style, with short, sturdy joins and restrained openings that keep words visually compact. Numerals follow the same condensed, squared-rounded logic, aligning well with the letters for unified headline and labeling use.
