A tall, tightly condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and predominantly vertical strokes. Curves resolve into soft corners rather than true circular bowls, giving counters a superelliptical feel and keeping widths compact. Stroke endings are clean and mostly flat, with occasional gentle curvature in shoulders and terminals; apertures tend to be narrow, contributing to a dense, poster-like texture. Lowercase forms stay sturdy and upright, with simple, utilitarian shapes and compact bowls; figures follow the same narrow, vertical rhythm for a consistent tonal color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where space is limited but impact is needed, such as posters, mastheads, packaging fronts, and bold editorial callouts. Its compressed proportions also work well for signage or labels that require high information density while retaining a coherent, uniform rhythm.
The overall tone is assertive and economical, with a compact, utilitarian presence that reads as industrial and slightly retro. Its compressed rhythm and squared-round geometry convey efficiency and impact, making it feel confident and attention-grabbing without ornament.
The design appears intended to maximize legibility and presence in narrow measure, using rounded-rectangular bowls and a strict vertical structure to create a compact, high-impact voice. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent texture for display typography where efficient space usage is a key goal.
The typeface maintains a strong vertical emphasis across both cases, producing a high-contrast silhouette between strokes and counters even at small widths. The rounded-square logic is especially apparent in rounded letters, where the corners soften the otherwise rigid, engineered structure.
