A tall, compact sans with strongly condensed proportions and predominantly monoline strokes. Curves are smooth and rounded with controlled, slightly squared terminals on many verticals, giving a crisp, engineered finish. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins stay clean and uncluttered, producing a steady, vertical rhythm. The lowercase shows simplified, sturdy forms (single-storey a and g) and a short crossbar on t, while numerals are similarly narrow and upright, designed to hold their shape at larger sizes.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and other display settings where a condensed, high-impact look is needed. It can work effectively for branding and packaging that benefit from a compact footprint, and for signage or labels where bold, narrow forms help fit longer words into limited space.
The overall tone is direct and contemporary, with a no-nonsense voice that feels industrial and efficient. Its condensed stance and heavy presence create an assertive, attention-grabbing texture, while the smooth curves keep it from feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining condensed geometry with straightforward, monoline construction. It prioritizes clarity of silhouette and a strong vertical rhythm for modern display typography.
The narrow set width creates dense word shapes and tight internal spacing, so the type can feel compact and punchy in lines of text. Round letters like O and Q stay controlled and vertically oriented, reinforcing the font’s compressed, poster-like rhythm.
