A condensed, all-caps–friendly sans with tall proportions and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Strokes are heavy and largely monolinear, with tight apertures and compact counters that emphasize a dense, vertical rhythm. Curved forms (C, O, Q, S) read as squared rounds rather than circles, and terminals are clean and blunt, giving the design a crisp, poster-like silhouette. Lowercase forms maintain the same narrow stance with a high x-height and simplified shapes that stay legible at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography where strong verticality and dense texture are assets—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging panels, and short, emphatic statements. It can also work for navigational or label-style signage when set with comfortable tracking and sufficient size.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, urban edge. Its compressed width and blocky curves create urgency and impact, lending a contemporary, headline-driven voice rather than a soft or playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in minimal horizontal space, using superellipse-based curves and blunt terminals to keep forms consistent and graphic. The goal is a modern condensed display voice that stays cohesive across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Spacing appears disciplined and tight, reinforcing the compact color in lines of text. Numerals follow the same condensed, heavy construction, matching the caps well for punchy callouts and signage-like settings.
