A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a tall vertical stance. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with clean joins and minimal modulation, producing a strong vertical rhythm and tight internal spacing in letters like B, R, and S. The lowercase follows the same narrow, upright structure, with simple forms and small, efficient apertures; numerals echo the same tall, compressed proportions.
This font suits bold headlines, posters, and branding where space is limited but presence is essential. It can work well for packaging and signage that benefits from a tall, condensed voice, and for editorial display settings where a strong, tightly set typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a tightly packed silhouette that feels industrial and urban. Its narrow, high-impact shapes read as confident and no-nonsense, leaning toward display-driven communication rather than subtlety.
The letterforms appear designed to maximize impact and economy of width while staying clean and modern. The superellipse-like rounding suggests an intention to soften a blocky structure just enough for approachability without losing a hard, mechanical backbone.
The design maintains a consistent, rigid rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures, prioritizing uniform stroke width and compact counters. The squared-round construction is especially evident in O/Q and the rounded parts of a/e, which stay constrained and rectangular, reinforcing a structured, engineered look.
