A tightly condensed display sans with tall proportions and a strongly rectilinear, constructed skeleton. Strokes alternate between hefty vertical stems and much thinner connecting horizontals, creating a hard-edged, posterlike contrast without any true serifs. Counters are narrow and often squared-off, with frequent open apertures and clipped joins that emphasize verticality. Terminals are flat and sharp, and the overall rhythm is compact, producing a dense, columnar texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and identity work where a compact footprint and strong vertical presence are useful. It can work well for signage, packaging, and editorial titling—particularly when set with generous tracking or used at larger sizes to preserve internal clarity.
The font projects an industrial, architectural tone—confident, rigid, and attention-seeking. Its compressed stance and sharp geometry read as retro-modern, evoking signage, headline typography, and stylized editorial titles rather than neutral body text.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a constructed, high-tension stroke system and squared counters to create a distinctive display voice. It prioritizes striking silhouette and vertical rhythm over conventional text readability.
Uppercase forms are especially monolithic and vertical, while lowercase keeps the same compressed geometry with minimal curvature, reinforcing a unified, engineered look. Numerals follow the same narrow, tall pattern for consistent tabular-style presence in headlines and labels.
