This typeface is a tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and compact, largely vertical construction. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with rounded-rectangle shaping in curves and terminals that reads as soft-cornered rather than purely geometric. Counters are small and apertures tend to be narrow, creating a dense texture; curves on letters like C, G, O, and S feel squared-off into superellipse-like forms. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, short shoulders, and a narrow, sturdy rhythm; the numerals match the same compact, soft-cornered geometry.
It works best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, packaging fronts, labels, and signage where a compact footprint is valuable. The dense color also suits wordmarks and brand lockups, especially when set at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a contemporary, industrial feel. Its compressed stance and dense color give it a no-nonsense, attention-grabbing voice suited to bold messaging rather than delicate nuance.
The design seems aimed at delivering maximum presence within minimal horizontal space, combining heavy strokes with softened, superellipse-like curves for a modern, industrial look that remains approachable rather than sharp-edged.
Spacing appears intentionally tight for a packed, vertical cadence, and the heavy stroke with small counters can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. The squarish curvature and softened corners provide a distinctive signature that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
