A condensed, tall-proportioned sans with compact spacing and a strong vertical rhythm. Strokes stay largely uniform, with rounded-rectangle counters and softened corners that keep the dense forms from feeling harsh. Curves are tightened and controlled, while terminals are clean and simple; overall geometry feels constructed rather than calligraphic. Uppercase shows sturdy, poster-like silhouettes, and the figures are narrow and compact, matching the compressed texture of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a compact, high-impact texture is helpful. It can work well for packaging, branding marks, and signage that need a tall, space-saving letterform without sacrificing presence.
The typeface projects an energetic, no-nonsense voice with a distinctly vintage display flavor. Its tight, upright stance and chunky forms create a confident, slightly industrial tone that reads well in attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using sturdy, uniform strokes and rounded-rectangular construction to keep the tone friendly enough for modern branding while retaining a retro display edge.
The superelliptical shaping is most evident in round letters and bowls, which appear squarish with rounded corners rather than purely circular. The condensed proportions create a strong columnar texture in text, emphasizing verticality and making line lengths feel efficient and compact.
