A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle geometry throughout. Curves resolve into superelliptic bowls and terminals, giving letters a squared-off silhouette with softened corners. Counters are narrow and often slot-like, and joins stay clean and uniform, producing a compact, columnar rhythm. The numerals follow the same vertical emphasis and enclosed, rounded-rect forms, maintaining consistent weight and spacing in display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and promotional typography where a strong vertical presence is desirable. It can work effectively for packaging, signage, and logotype-style wordmarks, especially where space is limited horizontally and a bold, condensed statement is needed.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with an industrial, headline-driven feel. Its narrow, towering proportions and squared curves evoke a retro display sensibility—confident, slightly mechanical, and built for impact rather than subtlety.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using a consistent superelliptic construction to create a recognizable, structured display voice. Its uniform stroke and squared-round forms prioritize graphic presence and a cohesive, modern-industrial texture in short to medium-length settings.
The design’s distinctive identity comes from the consistent rounded-rect construction: bowls, shoulders, and terminals share the same softened-square logic, which keeps the texture even across mixed case and figures. The condensed width and tight internal counters suggest it will read best when given sufficient size and breathing room between lines.
