A tall, tightly condensed sans with even stroke weight and compact proportions. Curves are smooth and controlled, with rounded bowls and narrow counters that stay open enough for clarity at display sizes. Terminals are clean and straightforward, and the overall rhythm is vertical and efficient, with minimal horizontal spread. Numerals follow the same condensed construction and read as sturdy, poster-like figures.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where space is limited and impact is needed, such as posters, packaging, signage, and label systems. It can also work for subheads and UI callouts when a compact, high-density typographic voice is desired.
The font conveys a direct, industrial tone—confident and attention-seeking without decorative flourishes. Its compressed width and strong vertical emphasis give it an urgent, headline-driven character that feels practical and contemporary.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in minimal horizontal space, delivering strong legibility and a decisive voice for display typography. Its restrained detailing suggests a focus on straightforward communication rather than stylistic ornament.
Uppercase forms appear especially narrow and rigid in stance, while lowercase keeps a simple, functional construction; the overall impression remains consistent across letters and figures. The condensed fit increases density, making spacing and line breaks feel compact and economical.
