A condensed, heavy sans with tall proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with narrow joins and tapered transitions that create a slightly pinched, ink-trap-like impression in counters and junctions. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, while curves are compact and tightly drawn, producing small apertures and dense internal spaces. The overall rhythm is punchy and uneven in an intentional way, with a mix of straight-sided geometry and compressed bowls that keep the texture tight in text lines.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster copy, packaging callouts, and bold branding marks where dense color and vertical emphasis help grab attention. It can also work for signage and labels where a compact footprint is needed, though the tight apertures suggest using it at larger sizes for clarity.
The tone is loud and utilitarian, pairing a bold, billboard-like presence with a quirky, slightly vintage edge. Its compressed shapes and pinched joins evoke industrial labeling and display typography, giving headlines a confident, forceful voice.
Likely designed to maximize impact in limited horizontal space, combining a condensed silhouette with deliberate stroke modulation and pinched junctions to create distinctive, display-oriented texture.
Uppercase forms read especially solid and block-forward, while the lowercase introduces more idiosyncratic shapes (notably in rounded letters) that add character and a hint of distortion. Numerals match the condensed build and heavy weight, staying compact and high-impact for short numeric strings.
