A tall, compact display sans with heavy vertical emphasis and tightly controlled sidebearings. Strokes are predominantly straight and vertical, with rounded-rectangle (superellipse-like) bowls and softened corners that keep the forms from feeling sharp. Curves are narrow and upright, counters are relatively small, and terminals are mostly flat, producing a dense, ink-rich texture. Uppercase shapes are monoline-leaning with subtle contrast, while lowercase maintains a straightforward construction with a single-storey a and compact apertures; numerals are similarly condensed and weighty.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and strong typographic lockups where space is limited but emphasis is needed. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage systems that benefit from a condensed footprint and a sturdy, high-impact texture.
The overall tone is bold and commanding, with a utilitarian, poster-ready voice. Its narrow, tall proportions and dense color read as confident and slightly austere, evoking industrial signage and headline typography where impact matters more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure: a compact, vertically driven sans that stays legible at display sizes while presenting a disciplined, industrial personality. Rounded-rectangle curves and flat terminals suggest a goal of modern solidity rather than decorative flair.
The rhythm is strongly vertical, and the tight internal spaces mean the face gains presence quickly as size increases. In longer text blocks the dense color can feel intense, but in short lines it reads clean and forceful with a consistent, disciplined silhouette.
