A condensed sans with a compact, monoline build and squared, softly rounded terminals that give many letters a rounded-rectangle feel. Counters are tight and vertical strokes dominate, creating a steady, column-like rhythm across words. Curves are simplified and restrained, with bowls and arcs tending toward superelliptical geometry rather than perfect circles. Spacing is economical and the overall texture reads dense and dark, optimized for strong silhouette clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where space is limited and impact matters, such as posters, packaging fronts, labels, and wayfinding or retail signage. It can also work for condensed subheads and callouts in editorial layouts when used with generous line spacing.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with an industrial, no-nonsense presence. Its compressed proportions and blunt, squared forms evoke vintage signage and modern poster typography alike, projecting urgency and efficiency rather than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in a tightly condensed width, using simplified superelliptical curves and squared terminals to keep forms consistent and highly legible at larger sizes. The overall system prioritizes a strong, uniform typographic color and a crisp, engineered silhouette.
Capitals appear especially tall and rigid, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, functional structure with minimal modulation. Numerals follow the same narrow, stacked construction, keeping a consistent vertical emphasis across mixed content.
