A condensed, monolinear sans with tall proportions and compact sidebearings. Curves resolve into rounded-rectangle (superelliptic) forms, giving counters and bowls a squared-round feel rather than purely circular geometry. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal modulation, and joins are tight and controlled, producing a dense texture in words. Several letters use narrow internal apertures and verticalized bowls, reinforcing a rigid, columnar rhythm.
Best suited for display settings where space is limited but impact is needed—headlines, posters, branding lockups, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short labels or interface headers when a dense, emphatic voice is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a no-nonsense, industrial flavor. Its compressed silhouettes and dark massing feel suited to attention-grabbing headlines and high-impact labeling rather than relaxed reading.
The design appears intended to maximize presence in a narrow footprint, pairing heavy, even strokes with squared-round geometry to stay legible and cohesive at display sizes. The consistent, compressed construction suggests an emphasis on strong typographic color and efficient headline setting.
The font’s tight apertures and tall, compressed shapes create strong vertical momentum and a uniform “wall of type” effect in longer strings. Numerals follow the same condensed, heavy construction, matching the alphabet’s compact rhythm.
