A condensed display face built from tall, rectangular letterforms with an inline, hollowed construction. Each glyph reads as a solid, boxy silhouette with a narrow interior counter cut out, producing a strong black presence and a consistent vertical rhythm. Corners are predominantly squared, curves are tightened into rounded-rectangle bowls, and strokes feel engineered and uniform, with counters kept deliberately slim for a high-impact, compressed look. Numerals and lowercase follow the same narrow, upright architecture, maintaining a rigid, modular texture across text.
Well-suited to posters, cover lines, bold editorial headlines, and logo wordmarks where condensed width and strong vertical rhythm are assets. It also fits signage and packaging applications that benefit from a stamped/label-like aesthetic and high visual punch at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and utilitarian, evoking industrial labeling, retro signage, and headline typography that prioritizes impact over softness. Its inverted, cut-out feel suggests stamped metal, placards, or high-contrast wayfinding, giving it a slightly mechanical, poster-era character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compressed footprint, using an inline hollow structure to keep forms legible while amplifying contrast between filled exterior mass and narrow internal counters. It prioritizes a rigid, industrial display texture suitable for attention-grabbing typography.
Spacing appears tight and the narrow counters can close up at smaller sizes, so the design reads best when given room to breathe. The squared framing and consistent internal cutouts create a strong patterning effect in longer strings, turning text into a graphic texture.
