A compact, condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and a tall overall stance. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and shoulders a squarish softness rather than purely circular forms. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with tight apertures and sturdy joins that keep silhouettes dense and graphic. The lowercase is straightforward and compact, with simple single-storey forms and short, sturdy arms, while figures and capitals maintain the same narrow rhythm for an overall uniform texture in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and signage where a condensed, high-impact voice is useful and space is limited. It can also work for bold packaging callouts and branded labels that benefit from a compact, sturdy rhythm, while longer text will read more comfortably at generous sizes and spacing.
The tone is direct and workmanlike, with a slightly retro, poster-era feel driven by its condensed proportions and squared-off rounded forms. It reads as assertive and pragmatic, leaning more toward industrial signage and headline emphasis than delicate typographic nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow footprint, using a consistent monoline structure and rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms sturdy, clean, and highly repeatable across the alphabet and figures.
Because the shapes are narrow and the counters are relatively tight, the face creates a strong vertical cadence and a dark typographic color. The rounded-rectangle construction is especially apparent in bowls (such as O/C/G and o/c/e), which adds a distinctive geometric signature without becoming playful.
