A tall, condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and a distinctly squared-round (superellipse-like) construction. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle forms, giving counters and bowls a compact, vertical feel. Terminals are mostly flat and clean, with minimal contrast and a steady, uniform rhythm that stays dark on the page. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, while the figures and capitals maintain the same narrow proportions for a tightly packed, poster-ready texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a compact footprint and strong presence are needed. It can also work for branding and labels that benefit from a condensed, industrial tone, while longer text is likely most comfortable at larger sizes and with generous line spacing.
The font reads as sturdy and no-nonsense, with an industrial clarity that feels both modern and slightly retro. Its condensed, blocky shapes create an assertive voice suited to attention-grabbing messaging rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight width, using rounded-rectangular geometry to keep forms consistent and highly legible at display sizes. Its uniform strokes and squared curves suggest a focus on bold, practical communication and clear reproduction across common graphic contexts.
Because of the dense black mass and narrow set, the type creates strong vertical emphasis and a high-contrast text color in paragraphs. The rounded-square geometry keeps the overall feel friendly enough to avoid harshness, while still staying firmly functional.
