A tightly condensed sans with tall proportions, monoline strokes, and squared-off curves that read as rounded-rectangle forms. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be narrow, creating a dense vertical rhythm and strong columnar texture. Terminals are mostly straight and blunt, with a crisp, mechanical feel; round letters (O, C, G) stay controlled and slightly boxy rather than fully circular. The uppercase is especially high and narrow, while the lowercase maintains a tall x-height with minimal extenders, keeping lines visually uniform.
Best suited to headlines, posters, logotypes, packaging, and wayfinding where vertical economy and punch are priorities. It also works well for labels and interface moments that need a compact, authoritative voice, especially when set with generous tracking or ample line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and modern, with a utilitarian edge that feels at home in contemporary branding and high-impact typography. Its compressed stance and rigid geometry project urgency and confidence, evoking headlines, signage, and industrial labeling rather than casual text.
The design appears intended to maximize impact in limited horizontal space while maintaining a clean, contemporary silhouette. Its rounded-rectangle construction and uniform stroke treatment aim for a consistent, modular look that stays legible and bold in display settings.
At display sizes the condensed spacing and small internal counters create a strong, dark mass; in longer passages it will look intentionally tight and attention-grabbing. Numerals follow the same tall, compact construction, reinforcing a consistent, poster-like verticality across mixed text and numbers.
