A tall, tightly condensed sans with heavy, even strokes and a distinctly squarish rounding in bowls and counters. Curves resolve into superellipse-like forms, creating a boxy rhythm that stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. Terminals are mostly flat and blunt, with occasional small notch-like cut-ins at joins that read like subtle ink-trap behavior and add crispness at tight interior corners. The overall color is dense and steady, with compact apertures and a vertical emphasis that keeps word shapes narrow and graphic.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a dense, high-impact wordmark is needed in limited horizontal space. It can also work for logos and short UI labels when you want a condensed, graphic tone, but it’s most convincing at display sizes where the tight counters and notch-like joins remain clear.
The font feels loud and display-forward, with a retro, poster-era tone driven by its towering proportions and chunky black presence. Its squared rounding and tight spacing cues add a slightly quirky, stylized personality—more attention-grabbing than neutral—while still staying clean and sans in construction.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact per line with a condensed footprint, using superellipse-based geometry and blunt terminals to create a bold, uniform texture. The small notch-like joins and squared curves seem aimed at preserving clarity in tight spaces while adding a distinctive, stylized signature.
Capitals and numerals maintain strong verticality and a consistent geometric logic, giving headings a uniform, billboard-like texture. The lowercase includes distinctive shapes (notably the narrow, single-storey forms and tight counters) that heighten character at large sizes, while the overall compactness suggests careful use of tracking for comfortable reading.
