A compact, tall-proportioned sans with heavy vertical emphasis and tightly controlled counters. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing smooth, squared-off bowls and softly clipped terminals rather than fully circular forms. Strokes stay even and solid, with minimal modulation, and the overall rhythm is narrow and dense, creating strong vertical columns in text. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy, with single-storey shapes where applicable and small, neat apertures that keep the texture dark and consistent.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and short punchy phrases where vertical compactness and strong presence are needed. It can also work for signage, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from an industrial, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle character. For body text, it’s most effective at larger sizes or with increased spacing to preserve clarity.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a slightly retro, display-ready flavor reminiscent of industrial labeling and mid-century signage. Its compressed stance and squared curves convey efficiency, discipline, and punch, making the voice feel direct rather than friendly or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed skeleton with rounded-rectangle construction for a distinctive but practical voice. It prioritizes consistent color and sturdy shapes for confident display use and clear reproduction across sizes.
The condensed width and tight internal space make it read best when given a bit of breathing room through tracking and line spacing, especially in longer passages. Numerals follow the same squared-curve logic and feel well-matched to headlines and data-forward settings.
