A tightly condensed display sans with tall proportions and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and relatively even, with subtle contrast that shows most clearly in curved joins and tapering on some lowercase forms. Counters tend toward narrow, rounded-rectangle shapes, and many curves resolve into softly squared shoulders and bowls. Terminals are generally rounded or blunt, while the overall texture stays dark and continuous, producing a compact, columnar feel across words and lines.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display settings where space is tight but impact is needed. It works well for signage, labels, packaging, and bold branding wordmarks, and can also serve as an attention-grabbing typographic accent alongside a more neutral text face.
The font projects a confident, vintage-inflected tone with an industrial edge. Its compressed width and dense color feel assertive and attention-seeking, evoking signage, posters, and classic headline typography rather than quiet reading text.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow measure, combining heavy strokes with rounded-rectangle construction to keep forms legible while maintaining a distinctive, retro-leaning silhouette.
Capitals are especially tall and uniform, creating a strong skyline, while the lowercase introduces slightly more variety through descenders and rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical logic, keeping figures compact and visually consistent in stacks or tables.
