A tightly condensed, right-slanted sans with sturdy, near-monoline strokes and compact proportions. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, producing squarish bowls and smooth, controlled transitions rather than calligraphic modulation. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and terminals are clean and mostly straight-cut, creating a dense, efficient texture in lines of text. The uppercase is tall and blocky, while the lowercase follows the same narrow rhythm with simple, utilitarian forms and crisp joins.
Best suited for display settings where space is tight but impact is needed: posters, large headlines, branded messaging, and packaging. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes when a fast, condensed emphasis is desired, but the dense weight and tight counters make it more comfortable at larger sizes than long passages.
The overall tone is forceful and kinetic, with a forward-leaning stance that suggests speed and momentum. Its dense silhouette and squared-round geometry read as practical and engineered, giving it an industrial, no-nonsense voice that still feels contemporary and energetic.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum emphasis per horizontal space, pairing condensed proportions with a forward slant and rounded-rect geometry for a modern, high-energy look. It prioritizes strong presence and consistent rhythm over delicate detail, making it effective for assertive, attention-grabbing typography.
In running text the narrow set and heavy color create a strong horizontal drive and a compact, high-impact paragraph shape. Numerals match the same condensed, slanted construction, keeping a consistent typographic color across mixed content.
