A tightly condensed sans with towering proportions and a compact, vertical rhythm. Strokes read as monoline and robust, with rounded-rectangle curves that keep bowls and counters smooth while maintaining a squared-off, engineered feel. Joins are crisp and terminals are clean, producing strong silhouettes and narrow apertures that stay consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The overall texture is dense and dark, optimized for impact in short lines and large sizes.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, mastheads, and bold brand wordmarks where vertical emphasis and compact width are advantages. It also works well for packaging callouts and attention-grabbing UI labels, especially where space is tight but a strong typographic voice is needed.
The tone is assertive and contemporary, with a streamlined, architectural presence. Its compressed width and tall forms create a sense of urgency and forward motion, lending a bold, headline-driven voice that feels at home in modern branding and high-energy editorial layouts.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact per horizontal space: a condensed, high-density sans built around rounded-rectangular geometry for a modern, engineered look. The consistent stroke weight and simplified forms prioritize strong silhouettes and cohesive rhythm in large-scale typography.
Uppercase and lowercase share a unified, condensed structure; round letters lean toward superelliptical bowls rather than true circles, which helps maintain a consistent width and tight spacing. Numerals match the same tall, compressed stance, reinforcing a cohesive display system across mixed text.
