A tall, tightly packed sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are sturdy and largely uniform, with rounded curves that stay controlled rather than soft, and terminals that read as blunt and functional. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and joins are clean and straightforward, giving the forms a dense, economical footprint. The overall texture is dark and even, with narrow apertures and minimal modulation producing a steady, poster-like color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where a compact, high-impact voice is needed, especially when horizontal space is limited. It can work well for posters, signage, packaging, labels, and UI callouts where strong emphasis and a tight footprint are priorities.
The tone is practical and no-nonsense, leaning toward industrial and contemporary display. Its compressed presence feels emphatic and space-saving, with a straightforward, workmanlike attitude rather than a friendly or decorative one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch in a narrow measure, maintaining a consistent, even texture and a straightforward construction. It prioritizes efficient width and strong presence, aiming for clear, contemporary display performance in tight layouts.
In the sample text, the condensed width and heavy color create strong emphasis but also reduce interior whitespace, so spacing and line length become important for comfort. The forms maintain consistent geometry across capitals, lowercase, and figures, supporting a unified, compact typographic voice.
