A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely monolinear, with rounded-rectangle construction throughout: corners are softly squared, curves feel superelliptical, and bowls read as narrow vertical capsules. Counters are small and apertures tend to close up, giving the face a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette. Terminals are blunt and squared, and the overall spacing feels economical, emphasizing verticality and uniform texture in lines of text.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging titles, and logotypes where condensed width is an advantage. It can also work for signage and labels when set with generous tracking and ample size to preserve clarity.
The font projects a strong, assertive tone with a slightly eccentric, retro-industrial flavor. Its compressed shapes and squared curves create a confident, poster-like presence that feels both utilitarian and stylized rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep the voice distinctive and cohesive. Its consistent, compact construction suggests a focus on display typography where a bold, unified texture is more important than airy readability.
In the sample text, the narrow internal spaces and compact joins create a dark overall color, especially in mixed-case paragraphs. Rounded corners keep the forms friendly despite the heavy, compressed build, and the numerals share the same tall, capsule-like structure for consistent display impact.
