A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle construction. Curves are squarish and controlled, giving bowls and counters a superelliptical feel; terminals are mostly blunt with softened corners rather than sharp cuts. The rhythm is vertical and compact, with short crossbars and narrow apertures that keep forms dense; round letters like O and Q read as compressed ovals with a squared-off character. Numerals follow the same compact geometry, with sturdy, poster-like silhouettes and minimal modulation.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact lines where condensed width helps fit more characters without losing presence. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and branding applications that benefit from a bold, engineered look and a dense typographic color.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, combining an industrial directness with a slightly retro, sign-paint and poster flavor. Its condensed massing and rounded corners create a punchy presence that feels engineered rather than expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a consistent rounded-rectangle geometry. It prioritizes sturdy silhouettes and a uniform stroke system for clear, attention-grabbing display typography.
In text, the tight internal spacing and narrow openings make the darkest areas cluster, producing a strong columnar texture. The rounded-corner geometry helps maintain consistency across straight-sided letters and curved forms, keeping the design cohesive at display sizes.
