A tightly condensed, monolinear sans with tall proportions and compact sidebearings. Strokes stay even throughout, with corners and terminals tending toward squared, softly rounded edges rather than sharp points. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a narrow, vertical feel; rounded letters like O and C read as slim capsules. The overall rhythm is highly vertical and space-efficient, with simple, sturdy shapes that hold together at large sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where vertical emphasis and dense word shapes are an advantage. It can work well for packaging, signage, and logo wordmarks that need a compact footprint and a strong, modern presence. For longer passages, generous tracking and ample size help preserve legibility.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, with a contemporary-industrial edge and a hint of vintage poster lettering. Its compressed stance and blocky rounds create an urgent, attention-grabbing voice that feels direct and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space, using rounded-rectangle construction and even stroke weight to create a consistent, high-density texture. It prioritizes bold readability at display sizes and a strong graphic silhouette over delicate detailing.
Distinctive superelliptical rounds and tight counters make it most comfortable where strong texture is desirable; at smaller sizes the narrow apertures can reduce clarity. Numerals follow the same condensed, straight-sided logic, maintaining a consistent, billboard-like texture across text and figures.
