A tall, condensed sans with rounded-rectangle construction and softly squared curves throughout. Strokes are mostly monolinear with slight contrast and a steady vertical rhythm, producing compact counters and narrow apertures. Terminals tend to be rounded or subtly hooked, and several joins show small cut-ins that read like ink-trap-inspired notches, helping keep shapes open at heavier black areas. Overall spacing is tight and columnar, with an even, modular feel across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where a condensed silhouette helps fit long titles into limited width—headlines, posters, brand marks, labels, and wayfinding. It can also work for short blocks of text at larger sizes where its tight rhythm and distinctive geometry remain legible.
The font conveys a vintage-industrial mood—somewhere between Art Deco display lettering and utilitarian signage. Its rounded-square geometry feels engineered and orderly, while the small notches and hooked terminals add character and a slightly noir, headline-forward attitude.
Likely designed to deliver a compact, space-efficient sans with a strong geometric identity and a period-tinged industrial flavor. The rounded-rectangle scaffolding and subtle ink-trap-like cut-ins suggest an intention to keep forms crisp and readable while preserving a bold, stylized voice.
Caps are particularly narrow and upright, giving words a strong vertical presence. Lowercase maintains the same condensed stance with compact bowls and clear, simplified forms, and the numerals match the family’s tall proportions for consistent texture in mixed text.
