A tightly set, condensed display sans with tall proportions and a compact horizontal footprint. Strokes are heavy and generally even, with subtle contrast appearing mainly where curves meet vertical stems. Counters are small and vertically oriented, and many rounded forms read as squarish, superellipse-like bowls (notably in O/C/G and lowercase o/e), producing a sturdy, engineered rhythm. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, and the overall spacing feels firm and economical, keeping word shapes dense and high-impact.
Best suited to headlines and short, high-impact text where compression is an advantage—posters, mastheads, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for subheads or callouts in editorial layouts when a dense, authoritative voice is desired.
The tone is forceful and attention-grabbing, with a utilitarian, industrial confidence. Its compressed silhouettes and squared rounds evoke a retro poster and headline sensibility while still feeling contemporary and functional.
The design appears intended to maximize presence and readability in limited horizontal space, combining squared-round geometry with heavy strokes for strong, stable letterforms. Its consistent, condensed system suggests a focus on display typography for branding and headline-driven layouts.
Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, non-calligraphic construction; the single-storey a and simple, narrow e reinforce the direct, mechanical feel. Numerals follow the same condensed logic, with compact bowls and strong vertical emphasis that preserves legibility at large sizes.
