A condensed sans with heavy, uniform strokes and a tall, tightly packed silhouette. Curves are drawn as rounded-rectangle forms, producing sturdy bowls and enclosed counters, while terminals end in clean, squared cuts. The overall rhythm is strongly vertical, with narrow sidebearings and compact apertures that keep letters dense and economical. Numerals follow the same compact, upright construction for a consistent, poster-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing typographic blocks where space is limited but impact is needed. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a compact footprint and strong, uniform letterforms.
The font communicates strength and directness, with a no-nonsense, workmanlike presence. Its compressed width and solid color create an assertive tone that feels industrial and authoritative, leaning more toward impact and clarity than warmth or playfulness.
Likely designed to maximize density and visual force within a narrow measure, providing a robust condensed sans for display typography. The rounded-rectangle construction suggests an intention toward a modern, engineered look with consistent geometry across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
In text settings the tight spacing and narrow counters create a dark, continuous stripe, especially in mixed-case lines; this favors short bursts of copy over extended reading. Rounded-rectangle shaping gives it a distinctive engineered character compared with more humanist condensed faces.
