A condensed, monoline sans with tall proportions and a compact, vertical rhythm. Curves are built from squarish, rounded-rectangle forms, giving bowls and rounds a softly squared profile rather than geometric circles. Strokes stay fairly even with blunt terminals and crisp joins; counters are tight and apertures are relatively small, contributing to a dense, high-ink texture. The lowercase keeps a tall, linear stance with short extenders, while numerals and capitals read sturdy and uniform, optimized for narrow set widths and stacked lines.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and display settings where a condensed footprint is useful and strong contrast against the background is desired. It can also work for packaging, signage, and brand marks that benefit from a compact, sturdy sans with a distinctive squared-round voice.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a faint retro flavor reminiscent of bold headline typography used in posters, packaging, and industrial labeling. Its compressed width and squared-round geometry feel modern yet familiar, projecting clarity and punch over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and space efficiency: tall, condensed letterforms with steady stroke weight and squared-round construction that preserves legibility while creating a memorable, industrial-leaning silhouette.
In text, the narrow set and tight internal spaces create strong word shapes and efficient line fitting, but the compact counters can make long passages feel heavy. The distinctive squarish rounds (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase bowls) are a defining signature that stays consistent across letters and figures.
