A condensed sans with heavy, even stroke weight and compact proportions. Curves are drawn as broad, rounded forms but often resolve into flattened or slightly squared terminals, giving counters a tall, narrow feel. The shapes favor verticality, with short crossbars and tight apertures that keep letters dense and space-efficient. Overall rhythm is consistent and sturdy, producing a dark, continuous texture in text while maintaining clear letter silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, short callouts, and display copy where tight width and strong emphasis are needed. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and labeling systems that benefit from compact typography and a bold, solid typographic color.
The tone reads confident and no-nonsense, with a slightly retro, industrial flavor. Its condensed stance and heavy color feel assertive and attention-grabbing, suited to messaging that needs impact without ornament.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility in limited space, using condensed proportions and simplified, sturdy shapes for clear recognition at display sizes.
In the sample text, the font builds strong vertical columns and a compact word shape, making it effective where horizontal space is limited. The numerals and capitals match the same condensed, blocky logic, contributing to a cohesive, poster-like presence.
