A condensed sans with tall proportions and dense vertical rhythm, built from rounded-rectangle geometry that keeps curves tight and controlled. Strokes stay largely uniform, with compact apertures and squared terminals that read clean and sturdy at display sizes. Curved joins and subtle notch-like shaping in tight corners suggest ink-trap-aware drawing, helping counters and joins remain legible despite the compressed width. Numerals and capitals share a consistent, columnar stance that emphasizes verticality and impact.
Best suited to headlines and short lines where its condensed build can maximize words per line without losing punch. It works well for posters, sports branding, bold editorial titling, and packaging where a compact, high-impact voice is needed. In longer text, the dense spacing and tight apertures will read most comfortably at larger sizes with generous leading.
The tone is loud and authoritative, with a no-nonsense, contemporary energy. Its narrow, towering forms feel urban and industrial—more commanding than friendly—making text read like a bold statement rather than a whisper.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, pairing a condensed structure with rounded-rectangle forms for a modern, engineered look. The shaping prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent rhythm, aiming for clear, forceful display typography across titles and branding.
The design’s compression creates a strong texture in paragraphs, with tight internal spaces and a crisp, poster-like silhouette. Rounded corners soften the otherwise blocky construction, keeping the face from feeling purely mechanical while preserving a rigid, architectural presence.
