A tall, tightly compressed sans with compact proportions and minimal stroke modulation. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) forms, producing squared-off bowls and counters with softened corners rather than fully circular geometry. Stems are heavy and consistent, with narrow apertures and short crossbars, creating dense word shapes and a strong vertical rhythm. Numerals follow the same condensed, blocky logic, staying legible through simplified, sturdy silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and signage where a condensed footprint and high visual presence are desirable. It can also work for branding accents and short UI labels when space is limited and a firm, compact typographic color is needed.
The overall tone feels direct and workmanlike, with a slightly retro, sign-painter/industrial flavor. Its compressed build and squared curves give it a confident, no-nonsense voice that reads as energetic and attention-seeking rather than delicate or literary.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow width while keeping forms sturdy and easily reproducible. The squared, superellipse-inspired curves suggest an aim for an industrial, modern-heritage aesthetic that stays readable and consistent across a wide range of characters.
The font’s strong vertical emphasis and tight internal spacing make it particularly impactful at display sizes; in longer text the dense texture can feel intense. The rounded-rectangle construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a cohesive, engineered look.
