A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions, compact counters, and a strongly vertical rhythm. Strokes read largely uniform with subtle modulation, and terminals are predominantly straight and clean, creating a crisp, rectilinear silhouette. Round letters (like O/C) appear built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than true circles, reinforcing a structured, engineered feel. The overall texture is dense and columnar, with narrow apertures and minimal internal space at text sizes.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight and impact is needed—headlines, posters, mastheads, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short subheads or labels when letterspacing is increased to preserve clarity.
The font conveys an assertive, industrial tone with a distinctly retro flavor, reminiscent of signage and display lettering from the early-to-mid 20th century. Its compressed stance and rigid geometry feel efficient and no-nonsense, giving headlines a confident, poster-like presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum vertical presence and strong graphic contrast within a compact horizontal footprint, using rounded-rect geometry and clean terminals to keep the forms disciplined and highly legible at large sizes.
The narrow apertures and tight counters make it most effective when given generous tracking and ample line spacing. Numerals share the same tall, condensed construction, supporting consistent vertical alignment across mixed content.
