A condensed sans with tall proportions and compact counters, built from rounded-rectangle geometry rather than circular bowls. Strokes are heavy and even, with blunt terminals and subtly softened corners that keep the texture from feeling sharp. Curves tend to be squarish and enclosed, producing tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a narrow, pillar-like rhythm, and clear differentiation in shapes such as I/l/1 and O/0 through proportion and detailing.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short copy where dense, vertical letterforms help fit more characters into limited width. It also works well for branding marks, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, compact texture and strong presence at display sizes.
The overall tone is utilitarian and poster-forward: compact, emphatic, and slightly retro in its squared rounds. It reads like signage or packaging lettering—confident and straightforward with a mechanical, engineered feel.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in tight horizontal space while staying highly structured and consistent. Its rounded-rectangle construction suggests an aim toward a modern-industrial look that remains friendly enough for editorial or commercial display use.
The typeface maintains a consistent vertical emphasis, so word shapes feel tall and tightly packed. Rounded-rectangular bowls (notably in O, Q, and 0) and the compact spacing create a dense, attention-grabbing line of text, especially in all caps.
