A tall, tightly packed display sans built from rounded-rectangle geometry. Strokes read largely monolinear with subtly eased joins and squared counters, giving curves a superelliptical feel rather than true circles. The verticals are dominant and straight, while bowls and shoulders are narrow and neatly rounded, producing a disciplined, columnar rhythm. Terminals are clean and mostly blunt, with occasional softened ends; punctuation and figures match the same compact, vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where the condensed build helps fit long words into narrow columns while staying punchy. It also works well for branding and packaging that aims for a structured, industrial-retro voice, especially in large sizes and short-to-medium text settings.
The font projects a utilitarian, industrial confidence with a distinctly retro poster flavor. Its narrow, high-rise silhouettes feel architectural and efficient, while the rounded corners keep the tone approachable rather than harsh. Overall it suggests vintage signage, streamlined modernism, and bold editorial headlines.
The design appears intended as a space-saving display face that delivers strong impact through height, compression, and rounded-rectangular construction. It prioritizes a consistent, engineered rhythm and a distinctive superelliptical silhouette for attention-grabbing typography in modern and vintage-leaning layouts.
Letterforms show consistent width economy and strong vertical stress, which creates impactful word shapes but can tighten internal spacing at smaller sizes. The numerals follow the same tall, condensed construction, and the lowercase maintains a similar compressed profile, reinforcing a uniform, display-oriented texture.
