A compact, tall sans with heavy, monoline strokes and strongly condensed proportions. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and terminals a softened, superelliptical feel despite the overall blocky silhouette. Curves are minimal and controlled, with tight apertures, sturdy joins, and squared-off structures that keep texture dense and uniform in lines of text. Numerals match the same narrow, vertical rhythm and maintain consistent weight and corner rounding.
Best suited to headlines, display lines, and short callouts where density and impact are desirable—posters, event graphics, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold packaging labels. It can also work for logo wordmarks or brand lockups that need a compact footprint and strong presence in limited horizontal space.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with an industrial, poster-ready presence. Its compressed width and dense blackness feel urgent and attention-seeking, while the rounded corners add a restrained, slightly retro warmth rather than sharp aggression.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact within a condensed width, using rounded-rectangle construction to keep the forms sturdy and consistent. It prioritizes strong silhouette and uniform rhythm for display use, aiming for an industrial, utilitarian voice with a controlled, modernized retro edge.
In the sample text, the type creates a strong vertical cadence and a dark typographic color, especially at headline sizes. The compact spacing and narrow bowls make word shapes feel tightly packed, which heightens impact but can reduce openness in longer passages.
