A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions and a compact rhythm. Letterforms are built from straight stems and rounded-rectangle curves, producing squared bowls and softly radiused corners rather than true circles. Strokes stay broadly even, with flat terminals and minimal modulation; counters are narrow and vertically oriented. Many glyphs show subtle roughness and small edge irregularities, giving the outlines a slightly worn, inked impression while maintaining consistent structure.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where vertical economy and impact matter. It works well on labels and editorial display applications that benefit from a compact, industrial voice, and it can add texture to branding when used at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and industrial, with a poster-like punch in narrow spaces. The lightly distressed edges add a tactile, workwear character—more rugged than clinical—suggesting urgency and grit without becoming chaotic.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in narrow widths while keeping forms simple and highly repeatable. Rounded-rectangle geometry and restrained detailing create a sturdy, modern backbone, while the slight distress introduces a tactile, printed feel aimed at display-oriented communication.
Capitals are especially tall and monolinear, and the numerals follow the same compressed, squared-off construction for a cohesive set. The condensed spacing and narrow counters create strong vertical texture, which reads confidently at display sizes but can feel dense in long passages.
