A condensed sans with a monoline feel and tightly controlled proportions. Strokes are heavy and consistent, with rounded-rectangle construction in bowls and counters that reads as superelliptic rather than purely circular. Terminals are softly rounded, and joins stay clean and vertical, producing a strong, continuous texture in words. Curves are compact and engineered, with narrow apertures and minimal interior space that emphasizes density and verticality.
Best used for headlines, posters, and signage where a dense, vertical texture is an advantage and space is limited. It also fits bold branding and packaging applications that want a modern industrial voice, and it can work for short subheads or labels when strong emphasis is needed.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, combining a contemporary, engineered feel with a slightly retro, display-driven presence. Its compressed rhythm and dark color create urgency and authority, making it suited to messages that need to feel direct and high-impact.
Designed to deliver maximum visual impact in a compressed footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep heavy strokes readable while maintaining a sleek, contemporary silhouette. The consistent stroke weight and compact counters suggest an emphasis on strong, economical forms optimized for display settings.
In text settings the font forms a near-solid column of black, with spacing that favors compactness and a consistent vertical cadence. The rounded corners keep the weight from feeling harsh, while the tight counters and condensed width push it firmly into display territory.
