A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy vertical stems and rounded-rectangle construction throughout. Curves resolve into squared-off bowls and softened corners, giving round letters a superelliptical, “pill” silhouette rather than true circular forms. Terminals are largely flat and abrupt, with occasional small notches and pinch points where strokes meet (notably in joins and inner corners), creating an ink-trap-like crispness. Counters are narrow and vertically oriented, and the overall rhythm is strongly vertical, producing a dense, high-impact texture in text.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where a strong vertical presence is desired—posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for subheads or navigation labels when space is limited, though the tight counters and condensed spacing make it less ideal for long passages.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, evoking industrial signage and bold editorial headlines. Its compressed geometry and squared curves feel modern and pragmatic, with a slightly retro poster sensibility due to the tall proportions and compact apertures.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space by pairing compressed proportions with a sturdy, rounded-rectilinear skeleton. The softened corners and occasional corner notches suggest an aim for crisp reproduction and a distinctly engineered, contemporary voice.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, engineered geometry; lowercase forms stay compact with minimal modulation, while letters like m/n/u show deep vertical channels that reinforce the condensed cadence. Numerals follow the same tall, blocky logic, staying clear and emphatic at display sizes.
