A tall, compact sans with a strongly condensed silhouette and dense vertical rhythm. Strokes read as largely monoline with minimal modulation, producing dark, even color in text. Curves are tightened into narrow ovals, and many counters are relatively small, giving letters a compact, closed-in feel. Terminals are clean and squared-off, while joins remain straightforward and sturdy; the overall geometry favors verticals and slim bowls over wide horizontals.
Best suited to headlines and short lines where you need strong impact in limited horizontal space, such as posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for subheads or interface callouts where a compact, forceful voice is desirable, though longer passages may feel dense due to the tight counters and narrow forms.
The tone is direct and utilitarian, with a punchy, poster-ready presence. Its narrow proportions and heavy color evoke an industrial, pragmatic mood, leaning slightly retro in the way the forms compress into tall, blocky shapes.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence while conserving width, using simplified, sturdy construction and compact counters to maintain a strong silhouette. It emphasizes clarity at display sizes and a consistent, uniform stroke treatment for a pragmatic, high-impact look.
In the samples, spacing appears kept tight to maintain a compact footprint, which reinforces the condensed texture. Numerals follow the same tall, narrow construction, and punctuation maintains the same solid, no-nonsense drawing.
