A tall, tightly set display sans with compact proportions and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are mostly monolinear with subtle contrast, and many curves resolve into squared, superelliptical rounds rather than perfect circles, giving counters a rounded-rectangle feel. Terminals are generally blunt and clean, while joins and tight interior corners show slight notching/ink-trap-like behavior that helps shapes stay open at heavy weight. The overall rhythm is narrow and punchy, with crisp apertures and small, efficient sidebearings that keep words dense and columnar.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and title work where dense impact and space efficiency matter. It works well in branding and packaging that needs a tall, assertive typographic signature, and it can perform strongly on signage thanks to its crisp silhouettes and simplified forms. For longer text, it is most effective in short bursts—subheads, pull quotes, and labels—where its strong texture remains comfortable.
The tone is bold and commanding, leaning toward an industrial, headline-driven voice. Its condensed stance and squared-round geometry add a retro-modern flavor—evoking signage and editorial display without feeling ornamental. The result reads as confident and no-nonsense, designed to grab attention quickly.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in minimal horizontal space, using squared-round geometry and sturdy construction for a modern display voice. The subtle corner relief and open counters suggest an emphasis on maintaining clarity and interior definition at heavier weights and tight settings.
Uppercase forms appear especially compact and architectural, with rounded-rectangle bowls and straight-sided curves that reinforce a utilitarian structure. Lowercase maintains a sturdy, workmanlike texture with simplified shapes and minimal flourish, while numerals follow the same condensed, poster-friendly logic for consistent color in mixed settings.
