A compact, tall sans with a narrow footprint and a dense, even stroke. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a squarish softness rather than true circles. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt with subtly softened corners, and joins stay clean and sturdy, producing a consistent, blocky rhythm. The overall color is dark and uniform, with small counters that reinforce a tight, compressed texture in words.
Best used for short to medium-length display settings such as headlines, posters, packaging callouts, and signage where a strong condensed voice saves space. It can also work for bold branding or labels that need a sturdy, uniform texture, while extended reading at small sizes may feel dense due to the compact counters.
The tone feels functional and industrial, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its rounded-rectangular forms add a mild retro warmth, keeping the condensed build from feeling harsh. The result reads as assertive and pragmatic, suited to bold messaging rather than delicate nuance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, combining an industrial condensed structure with softened, rounded-rectangle curves for a distinctive, approachable blockiness.
In text, the tight apertures and compact spacing create a strong vertical cadence, especially in uppercase. Numerals and lowercase follow the same squared-round logic, keeping the set cohesive and headline-forward.
