A tall, compact sans with strongly condensed proportions and a pronounced vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and confident, with subtly rounded corners and squared-off terminals that give many forms a rounded-rectangle feel. Curves are tightened into superelliptical bowls and apertures, keeping counters narrow and controlled. The lowercase maintains a practical, workmanlike construction with simple joins and minimal modulation, while numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic for consistent texture across mixed text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a condensed footprint and high visual density are advantages. It can also serve branding systems that need an economical, space-saving voice, especially in short bursts such as labels, mastheads, and callouts.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, pairing a no-nonsense industrial voice with a slightly retro, display-driven presence. Its compact width and dense color read as direct and attention-seeking, suitable for messages that need to land quickly and clearly.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility in tight horizontal space by combining condensed proportions with sturdy strokes and superelliptical round forms. Its restrained detailing and consistent, squared-and-rounded geometry suggest a focus on practical display typography with a cohesive, engineered look.
Tight internal spaces and condensed bowls create a dark, even typographic color; it will feel strongest when given breathing room in line spacing. The design’s rounded-rectangle geometry helps it avoid looking brittle despite the narrow set, keeping a cohesive, engineered silhouette across caps, lowercase, and figures.
