A compact, tall-proportioned sans with heavy strokes and an assertive, poster-like presence. Letterforms are tightly fit with short extenders and a generally straight, vertical stance, while bowls and curves remain simplified and sturdy. Terminals are predominantly blunt and squared, with occasional soft rounding in counters that keeps the texture from feeling brittle. The overall rhythm is dense and consistent, producing strong word shapes and even color in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where space is limited but strong presence is needed. It also works well for branding and packaging that benefit from a compact, emphatic voice, and for short UI labels or badges where dense, high-impact letterforms help maintain visibility.
The tone is direct and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workmanlike character and a slightly athletic display energy. Its condensed build and forceful shapes feel confident and functional, favoring impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a compressed footprint, emphasizing strong verticals, blunt terminals, and a steady, uniform texture. It aims for clear, practical display typography with a firm, modern-industrial attitude.
In the samples, the compressed widths and strong vertical emphasis create tight tracking and a stacked, headline-friendly texture. The simplified apertures and compact counters suggest it will read best when given a bit of size and breathing room, especially in longer lines.
