A compact, tall sans with firm vertical stress and predominantly uniform stroke weight. Proportions are strongly condensed, with narrow set widths and tight interior counters that create dense, high-impact word shapes. Curves are clean and elliptical, while joins and terminals stay straightforward and squared-off, giving the design a utilitarian, sign-painter-like clarity. Numerals follow the same compressed rhythm, with simple, sturdy forms that hold up in heavy display settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a compact footprint and strong typographic color are assets. It also works well for signage and packaging that need condensed emphasis in limited space, while longer text is likely to perform better at larger sizes with added spacing.
The overall tone feels pragmatic and assertive, with an economical, space-saving voice that reads as functional and slightly retro. Its compressed build and dark typographic color push it toward attention-grabbing, headline energy rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and economy of space through a condensed silhouette, simple geometry, and sturdy, uniform strokes. Its emphasis on clear, upright structure suggests a practical display face built for direct communication and dense headline composition.
Because counters and apertures are relatively tight, the face benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing in longer settings. The condensed proportions create strong vertical rhythm and allow dense headlines without sacrificing basic letter distinctness.
