A tall, tightly condensed sans with sturdy vertical strokes and compact, squared-off counters softened into rounded-rectangle shapes. Curves are restrained and built from superelliptical geometry, giving bowls and apertures a controlled, almost engineered feel. Terminals are clean and largely blunt, with minimal modulation and a clear, steady rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure, and the figures share the same narrow, vertical emphasis for consistent texture in columns and headlines.
This face is well suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where vertical economy and high impact are needed. It can also work in branding systems that rely on compact wordmarks, as well as signage and labels where a condensed, forceful texture helps information stand out in limited space.
The overall tone is firm and no-nonsense, with a compressed silhouette that reads as direct and commanding. Its strict geometry and compact spacing create an industrial, contemporary voice suited to assertive messaging rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a small horizontal footprint, combining strict, modern geometry with softened rectangular curves for a controlled but approachable finish. Its emphasis on tall proportions and consistent stroke behavior suggests a focus on display clarity and strong typographic color in dense layouts.
At display sizes the font produces a strong, even “barcode-like” vertical cadence, while the rounded-rectangle construction keeps it from feeling brittle. The narrow width and tall proportions make line breaks and letterspacing choices especially noticeable in text settings.
