A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and heavy, uniform strokes. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle shapes, giving bowls and counters a squarish, superelliptical feel rather than fully circular forms. Terminals are blunt and clean, apertures are relatively small, and spacing is economical, creating a strong vertical rhythm. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, engineered geometry, while figures are similarly narrow and sturdy for cohesive typographic color.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic copy where a dense, high-impact silhouette is an advantage. It also fits signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks that benefit from a compact footprint and a sturdy, industrial tone.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a compressed, billboard-ready presence. Its squared curves and dense texture evoke industrial labeling and urban poster typography, delivering a direct, no-nonsense voice with a subtle retro display edge.
Designed to deliver maximum impact in a narrow measure, using rounded-rectangular construction to keep the forms cohesive and highly graphic. The intent appears focused on display communication—strong verticality, compact spacing, and simplified shapes that reproduce consistently in bold applications.
At larger sizes the distinctive superelliptical curves and tight counters become a recognizable signature; at smaller sizes the density and narrow widths may require more generous tracking and leading to maintain clarity. The punctuation shown is minimal and similarly heavy, matching the font’s compact texture.
