A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions, heavy strokes, and minimal stroke modulation. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are blunt and clean, with crisp joins and a strong vertical rhythm; apertures tend to be small, and counters are relatively tight, reinforcing a dense, high-impact texture. Numerals and capitals share the same condensed, architectural structure, staying consistent in weight and stance across the set.
Best used for headlines, posters, and high-impact labeling where space is tight but visibility must remain strong. It also fits signage and wayfinding that benefits from a tall, condensed silhouette, and can support bold branding applications such as sports, industrial goods, and strong editorial display.
The overall tone is commanding and pragmatic, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as industrial and institutional. Its compressed width and dense color create a sense of urgency and force, suited to messages that need to land quickly and decisively.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in narrow horizontal space, using superelliptical rounding and consistent stroke weight to maintain clarity while producing a solid, attention-grabbing texture.
The narrow letterfit and compact internal spaces build a dark typographic color that holds together in large blocks of text. The superelliptical rounding softens the otherwise block-like construction, keeping it modern rather than purely stencil or slab-like.
