A tall, condensed sans with heavy vertical emphasis and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with gently softened corners that keep the geometry crisp rather than friendly. Counters are narrow and often rectangular, terminals are clean and flat, and the overall rhythm is compact with tight apertures and dense internal space. The lowercase is compact with a notably small x-height relative to the long ascenders, giving mixed-case text a stacked, high-contrast-in-height silhouette.
Best suited to display settings where space is tight but impact is needed, such as headlines, posters, signage-style graphics, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short subheads or packaging callouts where a tall, compressed texture helps create hierarchy without increasing point size.
The face reads as strong and utilitarian, with a compressed, high-impact tone suited to attention-grabbing messaging. Its squared curves and narrow openings add a disciplined, slightly retro-industrial feel, while the tall proportions bring an assertive, headline-driven energy.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual punch in a compact width, using rounded-rectangle forms to keep the construction consistent and highly reproducible. The emphasis appears to be on strong, uniform texture and a controlled, industrial silhouette for prominent typographic statements.
The digit set and capitals maintain consistent width pressure and a rigid, vertical texture, making lines of text look uniform and poster-like. The narrow counters and tight joins can make smaller sizes feel dense, but at display sizes the geometry looks deliberate and graphic.
