A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a compact footprint. Curves tend toward rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared-off bowls and counters with softened corners rather than fully circular rounds. Vertical stems dominate, terminals are mostly flat, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical, giving the face a rigid, engineered feel. The lowercase is compact with short extenders, while punctuation and figures follow the same narrow, weighty logic for consistent color in display settings.
Best suited to large-scale typography where space is tight and impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, editorial display, and storefront or wayfinding signage. It can also work well for bold brand wordmarks and packaging callouts where a compact, emphatic voice is desirable.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-like presence. Its condensed proportions and squared rounding read as functional and assertive, evoking signage, headlines, and utilitarian branding rather than casual or lyrical text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangular construction to keep forms sturdy and uniform. Its consistent weight and emphatic verticality suggest a focus on display clarity and graphic presence over long-form reading comfort.
Because of the dense letterforms and narrow apertures, internal spaces can close up at smaller sizes, especially in letters with stacked counters. The design’s strong vertical emphasis creates a commanding texture in lines of text, with clear, graphic silhouettes that stay consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
