This typeface is a tall, compact sans with heavy stems and tightly controlled sidebearings. Curves are built from rounded-rectangle geometry, giving counters and bowls a squarish softness rather than true circularity. Joins are clean and mostly abrupt, with minimal stroke modulation; the overall texture is dark and even. Uppercase forms read rigid and architectural, while lowercase keeps the same condensed rhythm with simple, sturdy shapes and short extenders.
It suits high-impact headlines, posters, and bold editorial display where space is limited but presence is needed. The condensed proportions also make it a strong candidate for signage, packaging panels, and compact logo wordmarks that benefit from a tall, forceful silhouette.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a slightly retro display flavor that recalls condensed signage and headline typography. Its dense, vertical rhythm feels efficient and no-nonsense, projecting strength and clarity rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility in narrow widths by combining heavy strokes with a disciplined, vertical structure. The rounded-rectangle construction adds a contemporary, engineered softness that keeps the forms cohesive and distinctive in large sizes.
Round letters and numerals show “soft corners” and superelliptical counters that prevent the heavy weight from feeling purely mechanical. The compact apertures and tight internal spaces suggest it performs best when given some breathing room in line spacing and not set too small.
