A heavy, compact sans with tightly compressed proportions and a strongly vertical stance. Strokes are monoline and largely rectilinear, with rounded-rectangle shaping at corners and terminals that keeps the forms soft despite the weight. Counters are narrow and enclosed shapes read as tall slots (notably in B, D, O, P, R), while diagonals (K, V, W, X) are simplified and sturdy. The overall rhythm is dense and uniform, optimized for impact in short lines rather than airy text settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding moments where space is tight but presence is needed. It performs well on packaging and signage, especially in stacked or vertically dense layouts, and can work for compact logo wordmarks where a strong, uniform texture is desired.
The font projects a bold, utilitarian attitude with a hint of vintage signage and headline typography. Its compressed massing and rounded-square construction feel assertive and pragmatic, giving layouts a punchy, industrial tone without appearing sharp or aggressive.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact per horizontal space, using condensed proportions and rounded-rect geometry to maintain legibility at display sizes while creating a distinctive, blocky texture.
Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, condensed skeleton, producing a cohesive texture across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same narrow, vertical logic, with simple, legible shapes and minimal detailing suited to tight compositions.
