A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a compact footprint. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than pure circles. Terminals are clean and mostly flat, with minimal detailing; joints and diagonals stay sturdy and straightforward. The overall rhythm is vertical and compressed, with narrow apertures and efficient spacing that keeps word shapes dense and column-like.
Best suited to display sizes where its condensed build can maximize characters per line without losing impact—headlines, posters, and stacked typographic layouts. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage systems that benefit from a strong, compact sans with a controlled, uniform color.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, projecting a practical, industrial confidence. Its condensed structure and squared curves feel modern and functional, suited to messaging that needs to read as strong, controlled, and matter-of-fact.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact typography in limited horizontal space, using squared, superelliptical curves to keep forms distinctive and cohesive. It prioritizes dense, efficient word shapes and a robust presence over delicacy or calligraphic nuance.
Round letters such as O/C/G read more like softened rectangles, while straight-sided forms (E/F/H/N) reinforce a rigid, architectural texture. The numerals match the same compact, vertical emphasis, supporting consistent texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
