A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions, heavy strokes, and a monolinear feel. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle/superellipse shapes, keeping counters compact and corners softly squared rather than fully circular. The rhythm is strongly vertical, with straight-sided stems and minimal taper; joins and terminals read as blunt and functional. Uppercase forms are narrow and towering, while lowercase keeps a high x-height and simplified construction for dense setting.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other short-form display uses where a strong vertical footprint and maximum impact are desired. It also fits branding and packaging that need an emphatic, space-efficient wordmark, and can work for sports or event graphics where condensed, high-contrast-in-mass typography helps carry urgency.
The overall tone is forceful and pragmatic, projecting an industrial, poster-like energy. Its compressed stance and dark color create urgency and impact, evoking utilitarian signage and bold editorial titling rather than delicate or literary settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight in minimal horizontal space, using superellipse-based curves to keep forms consistent and sturdy. It prioritizes bold, compact readability at display sizes and a disciplined, no-nonsense graphic voice.
Because of the extreme compression and tight internal counters, letterspacing and size will strongly affect clarity—especially in dense words and in rounded letters where apertures become narrow. Numerals follow the same tall, condensed logic, maintaining consistent weight and a uniform, sturdy presence.
