A highly condensed sans with tall proportions and a tightly packed rhythm. Strokes are consistently heavy with minimal contrast, and corners are softened into rounded-rectangle curves, giving counters and bowls a superelliptic feel. Many joins are squared and direct, with compact apertures and narrow internal spaces that reinforce a dense, poster-like texture. The lowercase is tall and sturdy, with simplified terminals and a utilitarian, uniform construction across letters and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short bursts of text where space is limited but impact is needed. It can work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a compact, high-contrast-in-mass look, and it also fits sporty or industrial-themed graphic systems.
The overall tone is bold and commanding, leaning toward an industrial, retro display voice. Its compressed stance and heavy mass suggest urgency and impact, while the rounded geometry keeps it approachable rather than aggressive. The result feels suited to attention-grabbing, modernized vintage styling.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact in a narrow footprint, using rounded-rectangle geometry to keep forms consistent and contemporary. It prioritizes strong silhouette and dense texture for display settings, aiming for a confident, utilitarian voice that remains stylistically distinctive.
The font’s narrow set and tight counters create strong vertical emphasis and a dark typographic color, especially in longer lines of text. Numerals share the same rounded-rectangle logic and appear designed to match headline use, maintaining consistent weight and width discipline alongside the letters.
