This typeface is an extremely condensed sans with heavy, monoline strokes and rounded-rectangle (superellipse) construction throughout. Curves are tightly controlled and often resolve into squared counters with softened corners, giving bowls and apertures a compact, engineered feel. Terminals are predominantly blunt and vertical, with minimal modulation and a consistent stroke texture that produces a dense, even color in text. The lowercase shows a tall, narrow rhythm with straightforward joins and small, contained counters, while figures and capitals follow the same compressed geometry for strong alignment and impact.
It performs best where space is tight but impact is needed—headlines, posters, and bold typographic lockups. The condensed width makes it useful for signage, packaging, and branding applications that require high visibility and a compact footprint, especially in short phrases and titles.
The overall tone is assertive and pragmatic, with a slightly retro industrial flavor reminiscent of signage and display typography. Its compressed proportions and blocky, rounded-rectilinear forms feel efficient and no-nonsense, projecting clarity and authority more than softness or elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual presence in a narrow measure by combining heavy monoline strokes with a rounded-rectilinear skeleton. Its consistent geometry and blunt finishing suggest a focus on robust legibility and a strong, industrial display voice.
In the sample text, word shapes stack into a tight vertical texture with strong emphasis on stems and compact internal spaces. The rounded corners prevent the design from feeling sharp, while the narrow width and heavy strokes keep it punchy at headline sizes and dense at smaller settings.
