A compact, heavy sans with tall proportions and a tightly drawn horizontal footprint. Strokes stay largely uniform, with rounded joins and gently softened corners that keep the dense weight from feeling brittle. Counters are small but cleanly cut, and the overall rhythm is vertical and even, with straightforward curves in letters like C/O and sturdy, minimally articulated terminals across the set.
This font works best in headlines, posters, signage, and branding where compact width and strong weight help maximize impact in limited space. It can also suit packaging and label-style typography that benefits from a dense, emphatic typographic color.
The tone feels bold and assertive with a distinctly retro, poster-like confidence. Its condensed stance and rounded construction give it an energetic, slightly playful voice that reads as attention-seeking rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence in a space-efficient, condensed form, balancing robust uniform strokes with rounded shaping to keep the silhouette friendly and legible at display sizes.
The numerals follow the same stout, condensed logic, producing a strong, cohesive color in lines of figures. In text, the narrow set packs words tightly, creating a dense texture that favors short bursts over relaxed reading.
