A compact, vertically oriented sans with tall proportions and tightly contained counters. Strokes are heavy and uniform, with squared-off terminals softened by subtle rounding, producing a rounded-rectangle (superellipse) feel in bowls and interior spaces. Curves are restrained and geometric, with a steady rhythm and minimal modulation; apertures tend to be narrow, and many shapes read as engineered rather than calligraphic. Figures follow the same condensed, blocky logic, staying tall and sturdy for strong alignment in display settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where space is limited but a strong, condensed presence is needed. It also works well for bold branding moments and packaging callouts that benefit from a dense, vertically driven texture.
The overall tone is direct and no-nonsense, combining a modern, engineered geometry with a slightly retro, signage-like bluntness. It feels confident and emphatic, prioritizing impact and compactness over warmth or delicacy.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a narrow footprint, using geometric, rounded-rectangular forms to stay clean and contemporary while maintaining a sturdy, industrial readability at display sizes.
The narrow proportions and tight inner spaces make the texture dense, especially in longer lines, while the rounded corners keep the black mass from feeling overly harsh. The design maintains consistent geometry across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, reinforcing a cohesive, system-like voice.
