A tall, tightly packed sans with compact proportions and a distinctly vertical rhythm. Strokes are heavy and mostly monolinear with subtle contrast, and terminals tend toward squared-off cuts rather than tapered finishes. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving bowls and counters a superelliptic, slightly flattened feel. The overall spacing and letterfit read dense, producing a strong columnar texture in text and an emphatic silhouette in display sizes.
Best suited to high-impact display applications such as posters, headline typography, event graphics, packaging callouts, and bold branding wordmarks. It can also work for short subheads or labels where dense, vertical emphasis is desirable, but it is less ideal for long passages at small sizes due to its compact internal space.
The font projects a bold, no-nonsense voice that feels industrial and poster-driven, with a touch of vintage headline energy. Its narrow build and sturdy forms convey urgency and authority, making it feel assertive and attention-seeking rather than conversational.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and economy of space: a condensed, heavyweight voice with simplified geometry and strong vertical presence. Its rounded-rectangular curves and tight fit aim for a modernized, industrial headline look that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Round characters keep relatively tight apertures and compact counters, which reinforces the heavy, compressed texture. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed construction, supporting consistent headline setting across letters and figures.
