This typeface is built from tall, compressed forms with a strongly vertical rhythm and minimal horizontal expansion. Strokes alternate between heavy verticals and much lighter joins and terminals, creating a crisp, poster-like contrast while keeping a clean sans construction. Curves are expressed as rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, giving bowls and counters a squared-off softness rather than circular geometry. Spacing appears intentionally tight with narrow apertures and compact interior counters, and the overall texture reads dark and continuous in text lines.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, logotypes, packaging callouts, and signage where a condensed footprint is helpful. It can also work for UI or editorial display accents when used at larger sizes with comfortable tracking.
The tone is sleek and forceful, with an architectural, sign-painter clarity that leans retro-modern. Its condensed stance and sharp contrast make it feel urgent and stylized—more headline than body—while the rounded corners add a controlled, industrial smoothness.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a tight horizontal space, combining a clean sans skeleton with superelliptical rounding and pronounced vertical emphasis. The goal seems to be a distinctive display voice that remains orderly and legible at large sizes.
Round letters such as O/Q and curved lowercase forms keep a squarish, softened silhouette, and diagonals (like in V/W/X/Y) are drawn with the same compressed logic, reinforcing a rigid vertical presence. The numerals match the uppercase in height and density, supporting consistent headline setting.
