A tightly compressed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and an overall tall, rectangular silhouette. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle logic, giving bowls and counters a squared-off, superelliptical feel rather than true circles. Terminals are blunt and clean, apertures are relatively small, and the spacing is economical, producing a dark, continuous texture in text. The lowercase is compact with short ascenders and descenders, while figures are similarly narrow and sturdy, matching the font’s vertical rhythm.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and large typographic statements where dense impact is desirable. It can also work for branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a compact footprint and strong, graphic letterforms; for long-form reading, its tight counters and heavy color may feel intense.
The tone is forceful and utilitarian, with a confident, no-nonsense presence. Its compressed geometry and dense color evoke industrial labeling and headline typography with a slightly retro, poster-like edge.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch in minimal horizontal space, using rounded-rectilinear construction to stay geometric and modern while remaining highly legible at display sizes.
Across the set, the design prioritizes uniform stroke strength and consistent width logic, which keeps lines of text visually steady and emphatic. The rounded-square curvature helps maintain clarity at display sizes while preserving a hard, structured character.
