A compact, heavy display sans with tall proportions and tightly drawn counters. Strokes are uniform and end in flat, squared terminals, while curves resolve into rounded-rectangle bowls that feel controlled rather than soft. The overall rhythm is vertical and disciplined, with narrow apertures and small internal spaces that emphasize a dense, columnar color. Lowercase follows the same engineered logic, with simple joins and minimal modulation, producing a clean, sturdy texture in text lines.
Best suited to headlines and short bursts of text where space is tight but impact is needed, such as posters, packaging, labels, and wayfinding/signage. It can also work for bold branding lockups and editorial display lines, especially when a condensed, industrial tone is desired.
The font conveys a pragmatic, industrial confidence with a distinctly retro, poster-era tone. Its condensed stance and packed counters create an assertive voice that reads as utilitarian, no-nonsense, and slightly theatrical when set large.
Designed to deliver maximum presence in a narrow footprint, pairing monoline construction with rounded-rectangular curves for a modernized industrial look. The letterforms prioritize consistency, vertical momentum, and high ink density to keep compositions bold, compact, and legible at display sizes.
Round letters like O/C/G and figures show a squarish, superelliptical roundness, giving the design a technical, signage-like feel. The numerals and capitals maintain consistent weight and a strong vertical emphasis, helping the type stay punchy in headlines while remaining somewhat dense in longer lines.
