A tightly condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a strongly vertical stance. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and bowls a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are clean and blunt, with minimal modulation, producing a compact rhythm and dense texture in text. Narrow apertures and counters keep the silhouettes bold and continuous, while the lowercase maintains a high, upright structure that reads more like a streamlined display cut than a neutral text face.
Best suited for headlines, posters, branding marks, packaging, and signage where space is tight but impact is needed. It performs well in short bursts—titles, labels, and callouts—where its condensed geometry and strong weight create immediate hierarchy.
The overall tone is firm and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its compressed proportions and blocky rounding evoke industrial signage and modern poster typography, delivering a direct, attention-grabbing voice.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact and economy of width, combining a condensed structure with rounded-rectilinear curves for a contemporary, industrial flavor. It prioritizes bold silhouette and consistent texture to maintain clarity and presence at display sizes.
The numerals and capitals follow the same compressed, geometric logic, creating consistent color across mixed-case settings. In longer lines the dense spacing and narrow interior shapes can feel intense, which suits impact-driven composition more than relaxed reading.
