A compact, tightly set sans with tall proportions and a heavy, even stroke throughout. Letterforms are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squared counters, softened corners, and a distinctly blocky silhouette. Curves stay controlled and slightly squarish (notably in C, O, and S), while joins and terminals are mostly flat and vertical, reinforcing a rigid rhythm. The lowercase remains straightforward and workmanlike, with simple bowls and short, sturdy arms; figures match the same condensed, solid construction for consistent color in headlines.
Best suited to display roles where space is limited but impact is needed: posters, headlines, mastheads, packaging callouts, and signage. It can also work for logo wordmarks and labels that benefit from a compact, sturdy feel, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, with an industrial, poster-like presence. Its narrow stance and chunky shapes suggest mid-century signage and compressed display lettering, giving it a slightly retro but no-nonsense voice.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in a narrow footprint, combining utilitarian legibility with a distinctive rounded-rect geometry. It prioritizes strong, repeatable shapes and consistent stroke behavior for bold, space-efficient typography.
The heavy mass and tight interior spaces emphasize strong word shapes, while the rounded-rectangle construction keeps it from feeling sharp or aggressive. In longer lines the condensed rhythm reads as dense and energetic, with the most distinctive character coming from the squared curves and softened corners.
