A condensed display sans with heavy, compact strokes and softly squared counters that read like rounded rectangles. Curves are restrained and engineered, with many terminals finishing bluntly and a generally vertical, stacked rhythm. The uppercase has tall proportions and tight internal spaces, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure with minimal modulation and simple joins. Numerals and punctuation follow the same compressed, blocky logic, maintaining consistent weight and sturdy silhouettes across the set.
Works best for posters, headlines, and short bursts of copy where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. The condensed build also suits signage, labels, packaging, and bold branding applications that benefit from strong vertical emphasis and tight horizontal footprint.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that feels suited to attention-grabbing headlines. Its compact forms and squared-round geometry lend a slightly retro, utilitarian flavor—more functional signage than delicate typography.
The design appears intended as a space-efficient, high-visibility display face: tall, condensed proportions paired with squared-round bowls to create a distinctive, sturdy texture. It prioritizes punch, consistency, and an engineered look over fine detail or airy readability at small sizes.
Round characters like O/Q and C/G emphasize superelliptical bowls, creating a distinctive squared-off softness rather than true circles. The density of the letterforms and relatively small apertures make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where its strong shapes and condensed width can carry long headlines without losing impact.
